Blocked washer-jet hose - suggestions?
The driver-side washer jet stopped working a month ago. I stripped the hose down as far as possible and tracked it to the final section of hose feeding the jet itself.
...which was a right PITA, as this is the only section of hose which has some sort of plastic 'block' at one end (which won't or can't be detached - and no, it's not the right-angle join which feeds the nozzle itself, it's the other end), so I couldn't run something through it all the way to make sure it was clear. Nonetheless, I had a go, and thought I'd got it fixed...until yesterday, when it stopped working again.
So:-
- Any bright ideas for clearing the hose properly?
- Any ideas where I can get a replacement section of hose? I'm guessing the Honda part will be the whole hose-assembly for both jets...and probably won't be that cheap!
- ...and as an aside, any idea what that plastic bit actually does?!?
Thanks,
Martin.
