my windshield washer spray

[That Nice Guy Beck!]

doesnt spray very strong, actually it kind of "pees" on only the drivers side, not good for winter, any quick fixes?

new nozzle, or i used a pin (as per the owners manual i believe) and stick it in the holes(giggidy) and that might clear out any gunk thats withholding pressure. if thats not it...i have no idea

I had the same problem, turns out one the washer hoses that runs underneath the hood insulation broke so most of the fluid was leaking there and never making it to the nozzle. Check the lines first, probably something simple.

The relief valve T-joint between the left and right lines under the hood was bad on my car. Bought another valve from junkyard, it was also bad.

Bought a regular T-joint at the parts store instead... it's supposed to be bad for the pump if the nozzles get stuck since the pressurized fluid can't get out of the relief valve anymore, but I'm not too worried. Works great now.

my water pump thing doesnt event work when i pull the lever towards me....any quick fixes? I'm about to check all of my plugs and wires along the way, but is there a common problem with these or should i check everything?

Fill the res. with water and pull the windshield wiper stalk back. Then go out and check your piping for leaks. If there aren't any on the inside of the hood, it is most likely the pump.

thanks! found out the pump works, but there was a gap in the tubing hehe. SOLVED.

I just replaced everything on the e28 and the check valve tee thingy was only $6.00 from the dealer.
