that back window washer

[Owen]

Hello all,

usual problem with back window washer - not working. motor is working perfect, and the pipe was pulled off the wiper mounting. but the pipe itself is blocked. the pipe is OK as far as i can see up to where it leaves the back window, and its blocked from the motor end as well. Anyone come across this before, or know of potential places for it to block or kink ??

thanks,

Owen.

Yep had the same problem, there is a return valve near the fuse box under the bonnet of ya car. Follow the pipe from the pump until you come across it, should be a white pipe and a black return valve going into a black pipe. It was the return valve that had got blocked on mine, the easiest way to test is just to remove the valve and blow up the black pipe. If you start seeing water coming out of the back jet then you'll know it was the valve. other than that not sure.

Hello all,

OK lads, will try that and see. its blocked up hard so i figured it must be another valve or filter somewhere.

Re: washer

Try using a pin and clearing the washer jet holes out.
