I have been having problems with my windscreen washers, they have been get less powerfull over the last few weeks, and now nothing comes out at all, I have stuck a pin in to see if its blocked but this has done nothing, the jets for the head lights, work no problem.


Anyone have any ideas as to why water is not coming out for the windscreen?



Thanks

Blocked pipe? , disconnect it, if water doesn't flow out when you operate the washer switch try using an airline to blow it clear, then clean out the screenwash reservoir to prevent it reoccurring. Disconnect both ends before using airline.

many people claim steradent is great for cleaning the washer bottle.

Yea, for that reason I don't use the windscreen washers ever. It makes a huge mess to use the light washers, I wish I could disconnect or disable them.

Yeah I agree they do make a mess, but just turn your lights off and they wont come on, works great in the day, wouldn't recomend it at night though
