Renault clio windscreen washer problem

[James]

Problem is no water is coming out of the jet. Tried using a needle to clear
the jets and no water is coming out. There is some water dripping from
underneat but no sure where it was coming from as was getting dark.

Any ideas what the problem might be ?

Thanks

You need to take the pipe off the jet and see if anything comes out of
it. It could be that there was a blockage and the pipe got blown off
the pump on the washer bottle.

Or there might be one-way valves which have clogged up and become no-way
valves, in which case removing them from the car and using de-scaler on them
may help.

Also, make sure you have little black cable ties to secure the tubes
afterwards.

Handy tip - those little ultrasonic cleaners are ideal for cleaning bits
like this.

I had a blocked jet on the Passat a few weeks back - one cycle in the
cleaner and it was good as new.
