Windshield Washer Nozzles strange behavior

[JuncoJones]

hi everyone,

 

I have an ’03 Boxster S that has recently developed a strange behavior with the Windshield Washer Nozzles (which in this model are non-adjustable)

 

It used to work well for as long as I can remember. Now when I activate the Windshield Washer nozzles, it makes a mess spraying water all over the place, instead of directed jets against the windshield.

 

The water pump works well, actually pushes quite strong. I’ve removed hoses, nozzles, etc. and cleaned everything with an ultrasonic cleaner, but no noticeable difference after.

 

 

Has anyone experienced a similar issue??

 

OR I could simply install this system in my garden, it's a perfect 360-deg. sprinker system :)

The black plastic trim on these cars is recyclable and certainly deteriorates and dis colors with sun and age. My next mini project is replacing all the cowl area plastic, including the sprayers. My sprayers work ok I think, but will need to be disturbed to replace the other plastic, so I'll just install new ones. I think they're $25 or thereabouts.

You’re certainly right about the plastics. I've replaced the cowl a while back, but the sprayers are still the originals.

 

What intrigues me the most is how could BOTH sprayers go bad at the same time...

I have the same problem and I can't agree more.

 

I have no solutions to offer other than replacing them. I just didn't get around to do that yet.

Recommend checking following thread if contemplating ordering new sprayers ...
