Seized washer jets

[Riknos]

One of my bonnet washer jets is seized and the other half seized. One of them it's the nozzles (metal so rusted closed I guess?) as I tried jamming paper clips in and can't clear it.

The other it seems to be further in the U bend shape of the nozzle, sticking a paper clip down both ends hasn't done anything, neither has soaking in water / blowing it.

Any ideas of anything I can soak them in to free them?

I have a rare factory colour and can't get them ordered in my colour any more...

Second the vinegar. Do you know anyone with a compressor who could blow them clear for you?

Pretty sure one is rusted up in the nozzles so this wouldn't work on, but maybe the other one. Potentially someone with a compressor yes...Thanks for the tip

S2000?

The nozzles have a small ballbearing in them (supposedly to stop back pressure??) - it will be this stopping it - remove it and it will work. Or swap them round to prove its this.

Yes s2000! Not sure of this ballbearing you speak of - how do you access it? Can't see where to open up the nozzle?

Cheers.
