How can i unblock my windscreen washers on my clio?

My wash wipes wont work on my clio and they are not frozen

Poking the outlet holes can sometimes work but the jets get blocked from the inside - we don't put grit and dirt in the washer bottle so the blockage is very probably limescale deposits from hard water - poking it back in will only be a temporary fix.

Half a cup of Viakal in the washer bottle - top up with water and wait for 24 hours often works a treat.

1)simply solution try poking each jet hole clear with the use a pin.
2)the opposite end of the pickup pipe where the filter screen is, (usually mounted inside the washer bottle) could be where the blockage is.
(Ain't no fun it bottle is mounted up inside the wheel arch)
they call this an improvement who they kidding
