How to adjust (change?) washer nozzle?

[silvanspirit]

Hello, haven't found this one anywhere (google / youtube / kstinger.com service manual). Are the washer nozzles adjustable? I've tried with a small needle pin, but that did nothing. I couldn't even see the actual nozzle as it's hidden quite deep in the plastic cover. Likewise there is no info on how to get the nozzle out for inspection / exchange.

Hey, they aren't adjustable. The only way to adjust them would be to replace the nozzle with a different style one

Getting the nozzle out isn't on the kstinger service manual. I would guess most Kia's are similar though, so I'd start with YouTube videos related to that

I've experienced clogged nozzles in freezing weather. it isn't the mixture. it's because I don't use my sprayer often enough. "use it or lose it". I've had them cleaned out once and they need it again. the obvious sign that they are getting clogged is the spray volume diminishes and also the upper half of the windshield gets missed.
