Default Passenger Windshield Washer Sprayer Not Working

I bought the CPO A7 only ~2 months ago, and have noticed that the passenger side windshield washer sprayer is not working. Washer spray only comes from the driver's side nozzle (yes, there are 2).

Anyone have a fix or an idea without having to make a trip to the dealer? Thanks!

Pull the hose off the nozzle and see if liquid is flowing through the hose.

If you have a old style nozzle (a ball with a hole in it), try to stick a straight pin in the nozzle opening to clear debris. Keep the pin handy to aim the nozzle after cleaning.

If Audi uses a new style nozzle (plastic box with a slit), you can try a pin if it doesn't deform the opening or canned air to clear the nozzle.

Since one side is working, it should be an easy fix. Obviously the non working side is clogged somewhere between the Y connector and the spray jet.

Thanks. Didn't know if that'd be hard to take off and clean or not. I'm horrible when it comes to anything DIY.
