Blocked drivers side washer jet 740d 2016

Two of the jets work ok, a bit weak. The drivers one does a little spit if anything.

Was unable to get a pin in the holes, seems too small a hole or too small a pin.

I read about Mr Muscle mix - maybe try that first? I am not smart enough for all that hose attachment buying or compressed air business.

As it is only one jet, this might not be a catastrophic fix - however I am concerned about leaving the motor on to do any draining and so on.... incase that ruins the motor.

Local specialist says not too much issue under £100 but thought I might ask you first.

This is worth a try: get a can of compressed air at the hardware store (or Amazon), find the tube connection to the washers and blow air through. Repeat. Have done this a couple of times and it works quite well. Unless your pump is failing, and repairing that is above my pay grade.
