Sorry me no understand, you need the wipers to clear the windscreen wash from the windscreen to clean it, if its not clear squirt some more on for a bit longer plus are you using a wash fluid or just plain water?

I understand as I experience the same but I don't have an answer. The wipers start immediately when you pull the water jet control towards you so there is a smeary windscreen through which sometimes you cannot see. Tres dangereuse as the French would say. Perhaps they like playing Russian roulette. :hmm

strange. I get the water for about 0.6 seconds first then the wipers do 3 strokes or so, stops and a single stroke a few seconds later.

At least with my two 04 models, you need to keep squirting for a few seconds before any water appears on the screen. By this time the wipers have already wiped the dry screen one or two times.

I've been trying to figure out this nasty problem for a while. It could be that the water is allowed to flow back to the reservoir, so the pump must push the water all the way from the reservoir to the jets. SO each time the water is not in the tube it takes a lot of time for it to reach the water jets.


If there was a vent which prevented the water flowing back to the reservoir this would probably solve the problem. Does anyone know if such vents exist?
