weak windshield washer pump?

[tranzformer]

does anyone else have a problem with the windshield washer pump not skwirting enough pressure? it seems the p5 has problems with this, where it only reaches a few inches up on the windshield, where as other cars hit the windshield right in the middle.

I really doubt that you have a presure problem...but rather an AIMING problem. whether you know or not....you can AIM the nozzles on the hood simply by using a straight pin or needle and sticking it in the hole and using it like a handle to move the nozzle up, down, left or right to aim the SQUIRT. give that a try....

damn it, you beat me to it

a needle can be used to re-aim the nozzles. just down point them too high or it will shoot onto your roof

point the rear hatch nozzle to spray the car behind you and have some fun.

hmm...my next mod...?

ghetto.. I like it!

what every 1 else said about the needle and aiming it...also, don't plug it w/ wax.

this could be your problem if you arent careful with waxing. it will gunk it up and not squirt very much.

i don't have any problems. i know how 2 clean & wax my car. just giving tranzformer and fellow readers a heads up not 2 plug it w/ wax as well. fyi, the pump does crack easily in a rearending/sandwich along w/ the motor used 2 pump the water out. (cool)

three of my four nozzles are currently frozen. (2 per sprayer)

i just gave this a try today, but i wasnt able to move them. Its really cold here in Michigan right now, maybe that has something to do with it. Ill try giving it another try when it gets warmer.

no doubt that they are frozen in place about not...even with them warm they are not that easy to move....try warming them up with a hair dryer.....just not too warm....remember there is paint there too...don't want to cook anything.
