Windscreen washers not spraying

One of the nozzles had been a bit poor at directing the water but after some adjustments it worked fairly well for about the last two months however now both of them aren't spraying properly. The water only comes out in a dribble and doesnt reach the windscreen. I tried placing my finger over each one to increase the pressure on the other but it didn't make any difference at all. Any ideas?

Work back from the nozzles.Pop the hose off and see if you have pressure there.
Is the pump OK in the tank no blockages?
If your water is hard then it can calcify the nozzles and you may need to soak them in Vinegar or other acid to dissolve the calcium deposits.

I took the hoses off and there seems to be good pressure going to them so I've taken the nozzles out and placed them in vinegar, I'll leave to soak over night and try again tomorrow but I might be safer just getting new ones from Honda as they were getting poor spray anyway

The pressure to the passengers side hose was slightly lower than the drivers side but maybe this is due to being father away... it still seemed like enough pressure to put out a good spray plus maybe the back pressure of the drivers side would increase it when the nozzles are connected

After soaking over night there was no improvement. Fitted new nozzles from Honda and all is good again. Sorted

Great stuff glad all sorted
