Just a word of warning when using pins/etc for aiming the nozzle, if the
nozzle has become stuck with age it is possible to break off the pin in the
nozzle. How do I know this? Well I am a heavy handed clutz............so
things tend to break when I am around.
Also make sure the water line is removed when cleaning nozzle so any yucky
stuff can disapear back to where it came from.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Windshield Washer Squirter
Get a bread twist tie and strip off the paper or plastic, curve about an
inch+half to about the radius of a quarter, and use this end to ream out
the squirter nozzle (the curve helps it slide in all the way). You can
use a push-pin to aim the nozzle -- these things appear to be little
balls with holes in them that rotate around in the black plastic
housing. Also clear out the hoses and such. Leave this expensive tool
in your car and use it every week or two.
The blue wsw fluid seems to evaporate and leave crusty blue stuff in the
nozzles and hoses, clogging them up. Use Mobil1 synthetic wsw fluid
mixed with German water (this comes in brown and green bottles, can be
found at many grocery stores in civilized locales). Pour in the wsw
washer fluid and drink the German water while doing the procedure, and
you should be OK.

Have any of yous had to deal with a windshield squirter that won't squirt?
The driver side one squirts (but not very potently), but the passenger
side
one does not squirt.
Wondering if I need to unplug the hose from the offending squirter and see
if it will flow at that point?
What else? How do these things go bad (the actual squirters - assuming
that's the problem).
Or could it be the motor that powers the deal?
