Hi All,
I have a 2013 A6. When I pull back on the lever to clean the windshield, washer fluid only comes out from the passenger side nozzle, not the driver side. Not even a trickle. Since the washer fluid runs from the driver side over to the passenger side, I don't think it's what I'd consider a "mainline blockage". In looking at the nozzles, it doesn't look like I can simply clean them out with a sharp object.

So anyone have any suggestions on how I can clean or check the nozzle?

Thanks!

you can use a metal pick to de-clog the calcium or blockage - but you need to dissolve the blockage as well...this is an issue because the nozzles are heated and that causes the water / calcium / minerals to congregate.

Not sure if you can un plug the nozzles and soak them in a CLR bath or what that would do to them. Ask your audi service guy. I know mine de-clogs them whenever I bring the car in for any service.

Are you sure the nozzle is clogged? Perhaps the tube leading to the driver's side nozzle got disconnected somehow...

You can unclip the nozzle from the hood (pull out from the bottom) and see if the hose is attached. If it is, you could try unclipping the hose from the nozzle (clip moves out perpendicular to the hose) and activating the washer. If fluid comes out, you know the nozzle is the culprit. If not, you probably have a blockage or disconnect elsewhere...
