E60 VBU Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Im rying to get my manta back on the road for the first time since 2006, the only thing I can see a problem with at the moment is that I can only get a trikle out of one jet and nothing out of the other, whats the best course of action - strip it all out and replace is is a simple fix likely?

garymanc Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 undo the pipes and give it a blow out with a airline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A377 SAS Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I had the same problem - no jet on one side. The steel clips which hold the water pipe to the bonnet had crimped the pipe over time. Opened the clips up and problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarter-Life-Crisis Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Im in the process of upgrading mine. I've got a new pump from ebay (also comes with free tubing) I've got 2 twin washer jets from an astra vectra etc and am fitting those. 4 jets on the windscreen instead of 2. Slightly larger diameter so needs the bonnet drilling out with a step drill slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith1200 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Had the same problem couple of weeks ago. I thought at first! it was the headlamp washers (so I disconnected them) it wasn't them I tried old/new piping 'nah luck'. It was a blocked jet (bonnet) I used vinegar (dropped the jet into a cup of vinegar for a couple of hours) it did the trick. An airline would def do the trick BUT the vinegar was closer to hand.
