Default XF 2013 - Headlight Washer Jet

Straight to the point.
XF 2.2d - 2013

Initially only Left headlight washer jet working. Replaced pump as connectors were corroded with original OEM as a cheap from ebay was worse. Checked wiring, mod was already done and fitted new pump.

Left jet is really powerful and the jet nozzle comes out and sprays immediately and retracts quickly- no problem here.
Right nozzle is slow coming out and sprays one third of the amount and is very slow retracting.
Please see video, that is, if I managed to upload it

Any suggestions / solutions before attempting to replace the nozzle will be appreciated.

As the jets are pushed out using water pressure, I assume the pipe to that jet is either squashed or damaged.

More than likely you are right - the part of the pipe that feeds the right jet is squashed somewhere.
I wonder if any has the pipe routing diagram (cannot find it in my workshop manual). That will be of great help.

I think it will require the bumper to be removed?

Prob the jet. One of mine wore out. They are about $70 each. Get the correct one as left and right are different.
On pre facelift you remove the headlight assembly and the jet is attached to it. Couple of screws to remove and replace. And put back in the headlight
Easy fix
