Lift the bonnet and make sure there are no kinks or pressure points on the hoses leading to the nozzles.

If that looks OK, gently use a pin on the nozzles themselves.

kinda on same sujbest, does everyones washer jets fire a straight line of water wuite high up the windscreen?  half the time doesnt even get the window, on my olf car it came out more like a power ful spray/scoosher, rather than a squirt of water like a water pistol
