Screen Wash Bottle TD4 05

Hi all back with another problem - this one has me somewhat baffled.

I am topping up my screen wash - however, when I pour water in it takes a while for the water to go down the pipe - its very much like a partly block sink. (which I suspect is the issue here)

I was wondering how I can solve this issue - maybe going to a jet wash and blasting it?

Everything else works fine with the water coming out etc - and after some hassle, I can fill it!

Looked through google / YT but can't seem to find something that resembles my problem

I wouldn't put a jet wash down there!! I have yet to look in my TD4 screen wash tank, having only collected the vehicle last night. But if the material were to resemble an ML350 Mercedes screen wash tank, jet wash will undoubtedly fracture the tank. The Merc' tank became crystalline and actually just fell apart!

Exercise caution! (Actually, you may have prompted me with another reason to buy a low price endoscope)

I'll be interested to see what comes of this challenge you have. Good luck!

A hook ended stiff flexible wire is your friend here.
The filler has a crank in it but is not very long.
Try and fish out any foreign matter with that.
IIRC the flexi neck unbolt from the car by the filler cap and pulls off.

OK so after driving through snow on the motorway last night at I got to the services and had to add more wash. I was not looking forward to it.

Anyhow, I removed the 'mesh' part from the water pipe where you pour it in and the pipe drunk the screen wash like 18-year-old necks pints on a Friday night.

So it transpires the mesh needs a good clean / soak in something
