Blockage on water jets and how to clear?
<p>My xk8 passenger side jet works just fine but the driver side one is much weaker. I'm fairly certain its blocked but in unsure on the best way to clear that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If anyone has any advice or has done it before and wants to share, it would be appreciated.</p>

I've moved your post from XK/XKR 2006 Onwards to XK8/XKR 1996-2006 forum. This is the place for questions about your XK8.

Possible damage is:
1. blocked or split feed pipe
2. blocked or split 'duckbill' nozzle
3. nozzle block been knocked out of position on the wiper arm
The jets can be cleared with an aerosol can of compressed air supplied for cleaning PC keyboards.
Disconnect the feed pipe (arrowed in red) and insert the tube of the aerosol into the nozzle block to blow the three silicone rubber 'duckbill' nozzles clear.
If the flow is OK but the direction is wrong, the nozzles can be adjusted using a small screwdriver to carefully lever them around. Go easy - a new nozzle block is around £65 from Jaguar!
