Hi guys,

Got an issue with the washers for the front windscreen just now, pump seems to be working still can hear it but only the right drivers side sprayer is trickling out not even hitting the window after I topped up the washers last week.

Noticed after I was giving it a good spray hoping the water would eventually come through that the water is coming out the top left hand side at the passenger end of the bonnet, I take it its blocked or the pipe has disconnected? Anyone had similar Issue before I start take the thing apart :?

I’ve had the pipe you mention come off, it simply pushes back on
Normally caused by freezing washer jets

The washer tank filter is known to gunk up if mixed screenwash additive is used, s9metimes best to remove the pump and filter for cleaning

Thanks, Ill have a look tonight, I take it I just remove the carpet/heat shield on the underside of the bonnet or did you access yours from the small circular caps that sit beneath each washer?

I seen that the tanks can get gunked up I'll have a look see if there is any grime and maybe add some alcohol to clean the pipes.
