The A3is only spraying on the drivers side, one of he jets on the passengers side is trying but not much, any ideas where to check?
I have removed the cap where the jets are but after this i am stumped.
Cheers

Disconnect the washer hose from the jet if you can and see whether there's any water coming out. If it is, then the jet's the problem and it might be a good time to change to a fan style washer...much better IMO.
Yeah, like on the golfs, where would I get one of them from
VW dealers
Just ordered one from Audi,
TBH not really meithered about the spray, as long as it cleans
Try getting a needle and sticking it into the jet and see if you can unblock it. Otherwise it might need replacement. Or taking off and soaking.
Why didn't I think of that
Happened to me before.
Washer jets live longer with Calgon lol
LOL, I wonder if that would work, a big tub, throw one in, let it disolve and then pour into the washer bottle??
I always use filtered water in my washer bottle, a little excessive I know, but the lime scale bits are small, but the washer pipes/fans are invariably smaller!
Its hardly excessive, people use filtered water in all sorts, kettles, irons, so why not washer bottles? Brita filters don't cost all that much.
On the subject of " Fan Jets " what is the Part number ( VW presumably ) for these ? I tried to locate it on the "Etka " parts thingy I've got....no joy . Also , query , can thhey be fitted reasonably easily onto an Audi A3 ? Got to say , I had them on my previous wheels ( VW Golf 2L GTi) and the spray pattern is excellent .Would like 'em on the Audi .Anybody know the number ?

I installed Insignia jets in my old Astra. Would be good on the A3. It seems there are quite a few things Audi didn't pinch of the Golf's
I'm sure I've read the MK4 golf ones are a bit smaller, so you need to bodge them in with glue. Don't know if anyone else knows of one that fits straight on?
