Hello fellow fiat peoples!
I bought my beloved 1.6 dynamic in February and have had little problems with it, but recently the pressure from the screenwash has almost completely disappeared and its pretty much a dribble that comes out of the jets.
When I bought it, it had a new one put in but surely it wouldn't break again after only 7months?! ANY HELP PLEASE! :)
 
You should check the nozzles arent blocked, if not then disconnect the hoses off the washer motor and check they aren't blocked. If not then you most likely need a new motor again, they are pretty common what with them being located low down they can get water damaged. If you can, stick a multimeter acrosss the motors wiring plug and check for correct voltage. But it's likely it needs a new one, mine only lasted 3 months after I bought the car with a new one fitted then that one failed a year later
 
Thanks mate. Checked the hoses and pipes and no blockages. the thing is, the motor is still working as you can hear it whirring. Not a clue haha
 
Sorry if this is obvious, but you dont say if you have disconnected the washer tubes from the jets to see if the water gets that far. also ..The motor could be making a noise but just not pumping - I had that once on a strada.
 
check if there was any warranty on the new part, 7 months isn't a very long time.

also any pics of your car I got to uni in worcester so i might see you around :)
