Washer Jets :-(

[andrew_s46]

hi,
my washer jets have recently stopped working. although sometimes they do work it is a very small squirt at the bottom of the screen. sometimes it does not squirt at all.
whenever i pull the stalk to active the washers i can hear the motor trying to pump the water.

any ideas what it could be?

Check your water bottle aint bust.

The pump has probably gone!
Not an uncommon problem

Compared to other cars that I have owned over the years, the washers are feeble. The wiper blades have usually run over a dry windscreen twice by the time the water appears. I assume this is normal for the megane. The rear screen takes even longer for the water to come through!

hi
i sorted it! htanks for your help anyway!

seems as though the pipe was being kinked at the top of the engine bay near the hinge - i simply relocated the pipe and 100% powerful!

I must check my pipe routing. I may have been putting up with rubbish window washers whilst thinking this is the norm for a megane.
