MG4 MY23: Restricted washer nozzles or spray directed away from the windshield
Symptoms
- Windshield washer spray is obstructed or incorrectly directed. [1]
Possible causes
- The manual calls for checks for blocked or incorrectly directed nozzles and requires sufficient fluid; it does not identify washer pump damage from this alone. [1]
Checks
- First confirm sufficient washer fluid, then check that the nozzles are clear and correctly directed; repeated operation without fluid is strictly prohibited. Do not operate frozen wipers. [1]
What to do
- Have a qualified technician clean or adjust the nozzles according to the nozzle section for this vehicle; do not directly replace the nozzles, pump or motor. [1]
Applicability and limits
- Only applies to the MG MG4 configuration in the source; model year 2023; the vehicle model database is empty and no model is linked. Do not extend to other models. Scope: unknown [1]
