well I really screwed up...

the driver's side windshield washer was losing pressure (passenger side OK), to the point it was only spitting a few drops with each wash

i went to a mazda dealership and the service rep's suggestion was to "stick a pin into the holes and wiggle it around to clean out the dirt that's probably there"

well, i did, and it helped a bit. but then 1 of the 2 holes was pointing in the wrong direction. so i tried to angle it and SNAP - the pin broke!

now i have 1 of the 2 holes in the "jet thingy" blocked. i suspect i need to replace that whole "jet" (the thing on the hood). is is possible to get JUST that part, or will i end up having to replace the whole washer system, or hood, or ???

thanks in advance

No No No....you can buy the washer nozzles separate. You will not have to replace anything other than the washer niozzle itself.

They detach from the underside of the hood.

Good Luck

Suggested Repair

Replace only the windshield washer nozzle. It is sold separately and detaches from the underside of the hood; the rest of the washer system and hood do not need replacement.

Conversation Summary

On a 2001 Mazda 626, the driver-side washer jet lost pressure. After probing the holes with a pin, the pin broke and blocked one hole. A Mazda technician said the washer nozzle can be bought separately and detaches from under the hood, so only that nozzle needs replacement.
