Screen wash pressure

Losing pressure on the driver side jets. Assume a loose connection somewhere. Anyone had this before and is it something I can fix?

Are you jets blocked or does it just dribble out? Chances are its blocked. Use your jets, lift up the bonnet and inspect for any leakage.

My nozzles were completely blocked, hence I removed all three at once whilst connected in a row (I disconnected further down the line). I then soaked all three jet heads in vinegar to dissolve all the limescale that had built up. Following this I purge the pipework with with dry air at work. They now work perfectly.

You could also check the non-return valves in the tubing just below the nozzles.
