Hi there, where am i suppose to buy the wider tube or cable as there are many dirt building up and can't get the water to spray out?

If there's dirt getting into the washer jets, rather than finding larger tubing why not just fix the problem?

Larger tubing will just mean instead of clogging a tube, it clogs the jet.
Or, it clogs the pump.

Just clean out the lines, the jets (use a pin)
and then clean out the washer reservoiur since that's likely where dirt has collected if it's getting into the lines.

Fair enough.

Take a bit of the tube off and head to Bunnings/Masters.

They usually have giant rolls of assorted tubing that you buy by the metre, just find one the same size.
Just measure roughly how much you need beforehand (at a guess I'd say 2m should do it, but have a look)

You shouldn't need anything fancy since it's just carrying water and maybe some soap.

Do not use a pin to clear the washer jets, there is a possibility that you could distort them and the washers may never work properly again. Remove them and place them into a jar with some warm water and a little carwash, soak, shake and rinse. At worst some fishing line will suffice as a probe. You could remove the tank and clean that in same manner and with new hoses you will have a clean system from end to end.
