Windshield washer questions

My drivers' side washer jet wasn't working at all until I poked a wire down the jet holes. Now it squirts a little. The passenger side squirts like it could drill a hole in the windshield! has anyone removed and cleaned out a jet to restore its' performance? This is the heated type on my '87 Carrera. If my trouble is compounded by a poorly functioning T-connector and I were to change it out, do I replace the crimp rings with hose clamps or are crimpers and rings available somewhere?

Attached is a pic of the T-connector with crimped rings.

I'll bump this one up.

After a recent cold spell my jets stopped squirting The passenger side now works but there's nowt from the drivers side. All the hoses look to be in place.

Thanks Chris. This has been inoperative since I purchased it 10 mos ago. It isn't cold related unless the cold weather in the past caused some break down in the jet.

Porsche Crest T-piece

Hi Hendog,

The T-piece you're reffering to is actually a valve. This is the most probable cause of your problem. Partnumber is 91462843300. The crimped rings are still available but you can also use little hose clamps.

Kees.

As kees said. The L & T valves clog & no, you can't just blow them out to clean. Replacements are cheap. Go to Home Depot etc for hose clamps - plumbing dept. Or you could also use tiewraps in a pinch. Tighten with pliers to clamp.
