windscreen washer jets

Has anyone else had problems with these?

A couple of months ago they pretty much stopped working, just a small dribble coming out, like the resevoir was empty. I checked that and made sure it was full. Marginal improvement but still pathetic and not good enough to clean the screen. Finally (okay so I am lazy) last week I got a sewing needle out and gave the jets a good poking! This time a big improvement but still not perfect. The bizarre thing now is that even though they dont look adjustable the water tends to come out the nozzle about 20 degrees to side.

I don't want to take it to a dealer (still not registered it with Peugeot in UK since importing it) as I was hoping to save it all up for the 6k service.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Get dealer to do it, seriously. If you bugger the jets up and then take it to a dealer, they could charge you for the work.

BTW - I'd get the car registered on the database ASAP otherwise your 6k service isn't free. You don't want to get to the service to find you've got problems registering it...

Have been meaning to register for some time. However the relevant reciept from the importers arrived through the post as we were moving house and I still haven't gotten sorted out enough to find the paperwork

You just need the original invoice & your service manual. Possibly also your V5.

Exactly! The importers posted me the original invoice (actually looked like photocopy) but it arrived around the time I moved house (a day or two either side) and at the moment I can't locate it
