Hi all, now I know my Jimmy's not moved much lately ( Gen 4 ) but the other day I went to use the windscreen washers and and this gooey mess came out of the jets, best described as 'politely' wall paper paste or antibacterial gel! The tank is full of the non smelling clearish stuff.
Anyone else had this discharge?

Who put the windscreen cleaner into the bottle and do you know what it is?

Not much help I appreciate, but when I got mine, I ran the screen wash down until it was finished and replaced it with stuff that I had used in the past.

I’ve had the car a year so it’s the original stuff Suzuki put in it, it’s never been refilled

This gel is often a build-up of algae. I have seen suggestions of leaving vinegar or Jeyes Fluid overnight in the washer bottle, then flushing it through.
A winter concentrate of screenwash with plenty of alcohol in it should prevent the problem coming back.
