Driving a car out of season with a broken windscreen washer is not only inconvenient, but also extremely unsafe. It’s like driving a visually impaired person without glasses.
For those who don’t know, a little theory. The windshield washer consists of a pump, exhaust hoses, nozzles and actually a windshield washer fluid reservoir. In other words, in the event of a system malfunction, the cause must be sought in one of the elements mentioned.
And most importantly – in the tank for the “washing machine”. Very often, due to microcracks that appear during sudden temperature changes, plastic begins to crack and leak with the onset of heat. Of course, the tank can be sealed, but this measure is temporary, so it is better to resort to automatic dismantling, where such “bums” are a dime a dozen. In addition, they are inexpensive and you can replace them, if not alone, then in any garage of Uncle Ashot.
If the liquid does not leave the tank, the pump makes a characteristic noise for the process of operation, but water does not enter, then the problem is in the nozzles or supply hoses. Usually a “plug” occurs due to the abundance of dirt and deposits that form in the windshield washer elements during prolonged use of the car. It is important to understand here that it is possible to blow and clean the system, but it will not please the driver for a long time, because sticking the pipes or coking the nozzles sooner or later will force the owner to have them to change to new ones. The main thing is not to damage the pipes during installation, which are easily deformed by mechanical stress.
Another thing is if the nozzles are in the wrong place to supply water to the windshield. Then, armed with a needle, they can be adjusted. True, this procedure must be carried out carefully and extremely delicately. After all, as you know, with a fool you can break everything.
But perhaps the worst is when the pump “dies”. At first it does not create the necessary pressure and then stops pumping altogether. In the harsh conditions of the Russian winter, pumps quickly become unusable – due to severe cold, frequent temperature changes and reaction to dirt with road reagents that somehow penetrate the mechanism.
