Hi All. Both my front washer jets are partially blocked on my 2019 Puma. I only get a trickle onto the windscreen. Can anyone provide me with a link to purchase replacement jets, please? There are a lot of replacement jets for Fords on ebay but none that I can see that will fit the new Puma. Many thanks for your help.

No need to replace them. Get a pin, or something like that, and clean them out.

I find piking them with fuse wire usually works. A pin may be too thick. A pin is usually ok for adjusting the direction of the washers though.

Hi All. In the end, I worked out the problem must be a blocked washer bottle filter. My "fix" was as follows:
- take the cap off the washer bottle
- remove a couple of clips from the driver's side bonnet liner
- gently disconnect the main feed to the two washer jets
- fit a tapered ball inflator to the end of a bike track pump
- connect the track pump to the main feed pipe
- gently blow air back through the pipe. You should see the air bubbling at the top of the washer bottle
Lo and behold the water jets now work!

Seems odd that there was a blockage further along the pipe, unless it was an air lock....Glad you got it fixed though... :)
