Min get blocked easily and I usually clear them one at a time in turn by blocking the other 3 with safety pins then giving it a good "blast".

Been covered a few times before on here.

Pump is behind underwing cover on O/S/F wheel.

It's probably bunged up with rubbish. A good clean of the system and then remove pipes from the nozzles and blow back with an airline to clear nozzles, I find the gunk does not want to come out the nozzle no matter how much the pump tries.

Have a look here

Sorry to slightly hijack the thread, but I was wondering who had 2 jets per nozzle and who had 3 jets per nozzle and does anyone have fan jets? and what year are the A8s? Thanks.
Two jets:

\aaaa /
a\ aa/
aa\ /

Three jets:

\ aaa|aaa /
a\aa|a/
aa\ | /


Fan jets:

\\\\|||////
a\\\||///
aa\\|///
aaa\|//

My 08 D3 3.0 TDi has 3 per nozzle. I'd like to find the fan type for a retro fit.

My D2 S8 has 2 jets of the traditional "metal eyeball" type.

Funnily enough I updated my Focus last year from the same type to fan jets as used on the latest Mk3 Focus - straight swap there and much more effective.
