pull the pipe off from the jet under the bonnet. check water comes out the pipe.

if so use brute force to remove jet from bonnet. i think you should be able to push them from underneath.

either clean or replace with Xsara mist jets..

You can pinch the clips on the sides of the jets on the underside of the bonnet with a pairs of pliers and then pull the jet out from the top. Yes

As stated already, replace with Xsara mist jets, they are much better. Thumbs up

I always find using a small needle often cleans them out a treat.

But as everyone has already said, they are so cheap to replace. Get the Xsara mist jets, they have been brilliant in the time that I have had them.

Mine were also blocked in my first 306. You could free the jets with a needle (you can aim them with the needle while you're at it) but they would keep getting blocked regularly so I took them out and soaked them in some vinegar to solve any scale, cleaned them and put a small scooter fuel filter in-line.

I cannot tell how durable that solution is as I replaced the washer jets with the xsara ones a month later which have a nice spray pattern that covers most of the windscreen at once. But you should see the s**t inside the filter after five years. However I would not put a fuel filter there again because you get a delay of about one second until water comes out of the jets.

-> XSARA JETS plug and play is the way to go. Thumbs up

Major thread bump haha.

If you are getting dirt in the system remove the washer bottle and see if it is dirty. When I bought my 306 I was having issues and there was a solid mass of green algae in the bottom inch of the bottle. It was disgusting and all came out in one giant blob.
