Washer jet is blocked

Winter is nearly here so I'd better sort this before those salty sunny drives arrive where you cant see anything through the winscreen.

Since day 1 of ownership the passenger side washer jet worked fine but the drivers side was always blocked. I've tried sticking a needle in but that didnt work. What do other people do to fix this? Replacement washer jet perhaps?

PS I dont want the DIY washer hose with holes in it fixed to my wiper type solution as I think it will look hideous. Thanks

No option so all you need to know:

Or replace the water jets, they are £3 each. Part no: A082M6369F

Don't be soft, a bit of mouth to jet is required (Or compressed air if you have such luxury!) Blow hard into the top of the jet (Might want to do this out of sight or you'll be arrested!) hey presto cleared jet! Worked for mine, but they are still bollocks. The wiper mounted ones aren't conspicuous at all thou and work well....

Cool, thanks will try a new jet if I cant unblock the old one, then if that fails, I'll be off to the Peugeot dealer.

Compressed air will knacker any NRVs in line. S1 doesn't have but don't know about the S2.

I use either an airline off a compressor and blast that down it, or use a pressure washer, just touching the nozzle of the washer. Full pressure down the line seems to work well.
