windshield washer
 
I am getting a good spray on the drivers side but nothing on the passenger side. Maybe one of those plastic tubes clogged. It looks like the fluid first goes to the passenger side.

i believe you are correct...pass side first - on mine it always seems to be those check valves that are clogged

Where are they located?

On mine, it is always the nozzles. I use a fine needle to re-open the nozzle.

Ok, thanks. I tried that but I need to find a very thin needle.

the check valves are right by the nozzles - up in the hole in the hood - very tight in there - if you are getting spray on drivers side then it's getting as far as the pass side - i believe there is a Y right near pass nozzle - so many lines up in the hood since the intensive washer also hooks in there somewhere

Yes, drivers side has good flow but nothing on the passenger side. I cleaned the nozzle but no luck. At first there was a very slight flow out of the passenger side, but now not a drop.

sounds exactly like what i had - was those check valves

The Porsche engineers designed these with a failsafe. IIRC, I believe there are two complete systems for the water to get to either nozzle. If you remove one of the systems, you can replumb the system with a single hose and you will have plenty of extra valves and much less hose in your hood and water from both your nozzles.

I think they hired a plumber from Hell to design that system.

I know they did. I took all the hose out of my hood on the Stepson (84 Euro) and used a singular water feed. Obviously, it wasn't hard because I got it done. :)

stepson - did that eliminate the intensive washer system? - i know no one uses it - not even sure if the fluid for it is still available
