Pressure comes from the High pressure pump in the washer bottle so I'd say it is the nozzle itself that is slightly blocked.
You can pull the washer stem up and then try cleaning the nozzle itself. |

Whatever has blocked the nozzles/pipe has obviously come from the washer bottle initially and then fed up to the stem that is not working (driver side), so yes it can affect both nozzles as they are fed from the same bit of pipe.
Sometimes with cheap or long standing washer fluid is can turn solid or to a gloop gel type substance and this is what I think may be causing your problem. If you have VIDA/DICE you can activate the washers at will to check function and operation. Last edited by SonyVaio; Jan 11th, 2014 at 18:26. |
