#1: Windscreen washers not working Author: Werdnal, Location: Cornwall, UKPosted: Wed Jun 29, 2011 2:16 pm ---- My washers were hardly working on Monday. Thought reservoir must be low so topped up, and now rear washer is working fine, drivers side front barely gives enough water to reach the screen and passenger side gives nothing!
Took sound proofing panel off inside of bonnet today, and difficult to see what is going on as the washer tubes are black, not clear as I expected, but there is no sign of a leak on any if the joints. Pump is working fine as it reaches the rear screen OK. Any suggestions what to try next please?

#3: Re: Windscreen washers not working Author: Werdnal, Location: Cornwall, UKPosted: Wed Jun 29, 2011 2:19 pm ---- I've got the mist type jets, not the older nozzle ones, so not sure about sticking a needle in them?

Lining underside of the bonnet there is a thick soundproof panel. Mines a 2.0HDi, so I assume its standard on a diesel.

There is the correct description. Not much point in soundproofing the engine really.

Put it all back together and it worked a treat!! 15 min job!
