Windscreen Washer Hose

Post by BertieWells »

Not had my camper long so just still getting used to things but how do you get to the hoses to make sure they are not full of c**p :?

The washers will work a little bit for a short amount of time when cleaned with a pin but soon stop again so im assuming there is lots of crap in the hose?

If anyone can find something on the wiki (i have looked) to help me get at these bad boys id be dead happy :)

Thanks

Quite tricky, but the hoses can just about be replaced with dash in. However, I believe you need to twist the washer jets through 90 degrees to lift them out and if it were me I'd temporarily put a joiner between new and old hose so I could pull the new through, feeding it in from outside - if that makes sence? After that you can plumb washer jets back in and twist them back through 90 degrees. We'll, unless anyone knows a better way? You may just need new washer jets ofcourse.

Ok so before I replace the hoses i will try and flush them through to get any crud out. However i tried that 90 degree trick but i dont seem to be getting anywhere :/

Is it just a pull like heck kind of thing?
