    Windscreen washer jet blocked

    The drivers side washer jet on the 79 SWB is blocked
    I've stick pins in the jet and wiggled it about but still no water

    I was going to run a new line to it

    The small line runs into the back of of it and I can see the back of the jet way in behind the dash

    It looks like the whole dash assembly has to come out , to be able to undo the nut on the back?

    Any idea how the line fixes to the washer jet

    It looks like it runs rigth through the back of the fittining ?

    Could try unplugging the line and squirting Carby cleaner or the likes, backward through the hole.

    Had a similar but different problem

    If the washer has a alloy stem and a plastic head then yes the tube goes through the stem to the head.
    I had one where the plastic was broken off flush and I couldnt pull the tube back.
    I couldnt try pulling the plastic out because I had nothing to work with.
    I replaced both with cheap plastic copies. If I can find the second one I can try and see if you can pull the jet out.
    Testing it to destruction isnt going a concern

    Got access to a compressor and a blow gun? Take the lines off and blow backwards from the nozzle. Usually works. No guarantees.

    Then, fit a filter.

    Fixed

    Found the tee piece behind passenger side of dash

    No option for removing at washer jet end
    Tucked in right behind instrument cluster and the panel behind that

    anyways , undid line from tee and sucked and blew until it cleared.

    Probably picked up some nice organism in the gut from the mouldy crud that was in the line

    Shouldn't happen again as I have put some of my home made window wash/clean additive in the bottle

    It's a mix of ; ammonia , metho , wash detergent , water and ????

    Thanks for the advice team
