Hello,

Just bought a GP 1.2 2006. Tried to use th rear washer yesterday but it's not working.
The front windscreen washer works fine (pull lever) but the rear washer does nothing (push the lever). I mean nothing, can hear the pump or anything.
I've read in the forum different things like blocked nozzle or broken pipes, but in all cases you can at least hear the pump.
Also, in this thread it's said that it is the same pump for front and rear, that it runs one way to spry front and goes the other way to spray rear. Is this true? In that case I suppose my problem is the lever right?

Thanks!

i would have thaught it was the lever switch, or something on that circuit.... just for curiosity, could you connect the pump wires the other way round (in theory, if it is your switch, your back should work when you try your front washer as it works 2 ways by reversing polarity)

I could try that... so it is the same pump for rear and front right? Then almost certain it's the lever I suppose.
That's kinda' makes sense as I checked the fuse and it's the same for front/rear.

yes it is the same pump for both it spins one way for front and other for rear

the pump can be accessed by removing nearside wheel and arch lining

Went to the dealer today to get this fixed... turn out that the lever is sort of temperamental.
For the rear washer to work I have to push it in (left) and then push forward.
