Hi guys, I'm sure alot of you might have heard this trick before but here it is.
I kept getting blocked jets on my windscreen washers on my BMW daily.
Once I had them all cleaned out and working well, they were really blocked, I didn't want it happening again.
I ended up fitting a carburettor fuel filter between the pump and the jets. I'm really glad I did. The amount of gunk that ended up in the filter is impressive.
Just did the same upgrade to my other half's focus and will be doing it to both capri's when I get the time.
Well worth the time to do it.

That's a neat little trick Jonathan Might just look at that myself.

Re: Blocked washer jets
It keeps things clear and prevents them blocking up when you most need them.
Took 5 mins to do and I could not believe the amount of gunk after just a week of use.
