General Windscreen Washer Jets

[rushdentillidie]

Good evening,

I have noticed a problem that has just started to occur with my wind screen washer jets, when i pull the stick for the spay i do not get any fluid. I hear the motor noise of the pump but no spay, and then the wipes start to up as the normally would. Now this is the case for the front and the back.
HAs anybody any ideas, i have check the reservoir and they is ample fluid, i have also checked under the car to make sure that they is no leaks when i try this and i can not see any.

My car is a punto HGT 54 reg, has this happened to any body before or think of anything that be be causing this.

Regards

Are the nozzles blocked? Try wiggling a pin (or similar) in the nozzles. If that doesn't work, my next guess would be a blockage further down the line.

Losing both front and back water flow suggests the pump is playing up. Pull off the rubber hose under the bonnet that connects to the washer jets and see if water is coming out.

Thanks for the advice,

I have tried this morning to see if the jets are blocked and this is not the case, it seems like the pump is at fault. Any idea of the cost of these and how much to get it fitted?

Cheers
