Possible blockage in line or at the nozzle ends. There is a small screen that keeps debris from entering the lines but can get clogged. The screen is plastic and is inside the reservoir at the bottom between the pump and the outlet hose. Remove and clean the screen as needed. If the problem persists there is most likely a clog in the line. Slightly higher pressurized air (more than the washer pump can produce) could clear the clog. Be sure to check the nozzles for blockage too. Good luck to you

Check the hoses and the nozzles. One of them is clogged if pump is working. Pull hose off pump first and see if fluid comes out when washer is activated. If you get no fluid and the pump is running replace the pump.

Windscreen washer not working

Most likely the pump (motor) is gone and needs replacement. However, it is worth checking that fuse allocated to windscreen washer is intact. Furthermore, you may also need to check the wiring for flow of current at lever end (handle on the steering wheel) and wires connecting to pump on the water reservoir.

I have a vw polo se 1.2 When i push the windscreen washer botton for the front and back windscreen no water comes out but it still makes a noise as if the pump is still working and the water bottle is...

First I would start by looking for a broken line. It will be rather obvious as it will leak out on the ground after being actuated a few times.

Peugeot 1007 windscreen washer water jets

Hi

It is usually the fuse. This blows very easily.(eg Ifyou operaten the washers when the fluid is frozen or partially frozen)

Look in your handbook. And in the fuse box in the engine compartment

Windscreen washers

Fords have a common problem with their washer pumps. for the last 12 years ford have fitted a plastic mesh over the inlet to the washer pump, this blocks up with the build up of crystalized washer fluid. fords official protocol says to use a small sharp object the size of a pencil to peirce the mesh and allow the flow of water. Also most washer bottles can be accessed via the front wheel arch. simple undo the fixings and pull the innier plastic wheelarch out the way and pull the pump out of the bottle. they are never fixed in just wedged in.

This is the indication for your windscreen washer fluid. If it is full and showing low on the cluster, then the sensor os bad in the bottle. Replace the sensor.

If you are in the habit of overheating the car you timing belt might be bad.
