ok here goes, when im driving washer fluid comes out of the nozzle but only on the drivers side it doesnt squirt it just randomly trickles out from time to time. any ideas...... rod. thanks

 

in most cars its in the nozzle itself so replacing it will probably stop the leaking, if not im sure you local autoparts store sells a little check valve that you can put inline behind the nozzle.

 

thanks ill try that, most appreciated.

 

it's not the nozzle, it's the check valve. Under the hood, there's a white check vavle right before the nozzles... replace it (it's cheap). It's entire purpose is to stop that from happening, and they do go bad.

 

^ What he said...

I love how all of a sudden there's people from different forums singling me out for answers... I don't know anything about this stuff

Rod.

 

awesome thanks. you know i dont think ill ever have to get help from a mechanic again i can just ask the questions here and then fix it myself. i can fix pretty much anything im just not the best problem solver so thats where you guys come in you all have been there done that im knew to the z32 so it works out. if anyone here ever needs help with a vw, honda or a toyota lol you can ask me i know all in that department. haha well considering youve had an answer to every question i had so far id have to say you do know. lol

 

Funny it happened to me but when i brake hard or floor it some squirts out not all the time. It scared me the first time but i now guess why it happened.

 

mine trickles out the back, doesn't come out the front at all....

 

Eh, when I first got my car, the front wash sprayed the back window and the back wash did nothing... turns out some genius connected the front washer to the rear hose and left nothing connected to the front washers

 

my first thought when it happened to me which is dumb now that i know where the resevior is located , was that the engine was getting hot and heating up the bottle causing it to boil thus squirt out the nozzle lol am i the only person who thinks of the most retarded explainations and then later looks back and is like what the hell was i thinking. haha

 

I have the same problem. Especially when I break hard and accelerate hard.

 

to everyone who says they have the same problem... take the advice I gave... replace the check valve. It's not expensive, and believe me, I KNOW how IRRITATING that problem can be when you're cruising around after just having washed and waxed the car... to stop hard only to see water drip across your hood, then drying in the sun and leaving ugly water-marks.
