How to unblock washer jets A8/S8 D2/D3
Been reading alot of forums over the years and a common problem that seems to reoccur is block washer jets. So cause most A8/S8 have headlight ones as well I thought I'd share the one tip that works every time regardless of make or model of car,
Its really simple all you have to do is dissolve a calgon tablet in some hot water and pour that into the washer jet fluid bottle. leave for approx 10 mins and try your washers. Will work every time. Saves alot time removing wheel arch covers to get to the washer bottle pump and trying to trace the washer lines. And is totally safe so can be done at winter service time even if jets are not blocked. Prevention is better than cure

I must be the only person this didn't work for-in fact-it made the washers on my D3 totaly give up the ghost. I need to pull them apart now

Really?
Did you use the powder version or the tablet form? Cause once I had a BMW 530d and poured some spoonfuls of the powder stuff straight into the wash bottle just clogged it right up. Had to suck the stuff out again and flushed with hot water. Eventually it cleared and the washers worked brill from then on

No I dissolved the tablet form in hot water-poured it into the washer bottle, and squirted through-after 10 mins my washe pump is squeeling it's balls off and no water from the jets
