Windscreen washer

[Paul sherman]

Hello everyone, the windscreen washer on the drivers side squirts at the bottom of the screen, I tried to adjust it with a pin as you used too ,but to no avail.  Lexus tells me it’s fixed and not adjustable? And that you have to replace the whole unit . Anybody know a way round this please

Is it fitted correctly?

It may be that it just needs clipping back in to realign it.

A new one is £17.97 from >>>HERE<<<

Hi Paul and welcome to the LOC.

Take it out to get a better look at the jet, normally sliding a credit card or similar between the jet and bonnet from each side and pushing gently releases the nozzle assembly.

That is correct. If you stick a pin in it you can damage it because it's not designed to move.

Low pressure means a partial blockage somewhere, so first (because it's easiest) take out the jet and blast it with compressed air. If you're getting a good water supply to the jet then it can only be the jet at fault but if the supply is poor you'll need to start disconnecting the hoses and blast them too.

Thank you all, I shall try your suggestions first.

I sprayed a bit of viacal on them and it seemed to sort it, Must have been a bit of limescale
