washer nozzle

[slashman]

Hi there, just bought a Passat (02) 2 weeks ago & all's good with it apart from the windscreen washer nozzles are not working to well .....

At 1st i thought it was the cold weather (frozen water) but, the driver side now works if not to full capacity & the passenger side just dribbles out!

I've looked at them but, i'm not sure wat to do (used to stick a pin in hole!) as the are made of plastic.

Can anyone help on this issue?

buy 2 new ones from your dealer, they are not a lot of money

You have a disconnected pipe inside the bonnet.
Take out the oval black plastic cover below the jet (on the underside of the bonnet, passengers side) pull the corrugated hose out, you will see an open end, now pull the smooth pipe out and plug it in, pop it back, put the cover back, job done!
