2001 E200K Blocked washer jets

[petenaylor]

Hi all
Firstly, Merry Christmas to everyone!

My 2001 E200 Kompressor has developed a problem where by the driver's side winscreen washer jet is blocked and no water can pass through it. I have had a look on the detali.ru website for the diagram but I can't seem to remove the washer jet assembly from the bonnet. Has anyone removed this before? I think it needs removing and all the muck blasting out. Any ideas greatfully received.
Many thanks
Pete

Use a welding torch cleaning tool to unblock it. No need to remove it.

The pipes under the bonnet tend to come off also. They are covered with a rectangular plastic cover on the bonnet itself.

I use a strand of wire taken from an electrical wire, if it goes in up to 1" then as black says the pipe will be off.

The nozzles are removed by pushing and lifting the end, the same way as a repeater lens, but I would not recommend doing it.

have you tried poking it with a needle first?

Hi all
I've tried to poke a pin into the holes and in the left hole the pin goes in all the way but the right one it doesn't. It only goes in about half an inch. Also, the passenger side squirter is very weak, but water does come out.
