Default windscreen washers?
My windscreen washers don't seem to be working properly, the water comes out of the jets evenly but doesn't have enough oomph reach the windscreen!

jet nozzles are clear, water in the bottle and tried squeezing the pipes all the way to try and release any blockage but no joy....

Could it be the washer bottle pump needs replacing?

Could the engine get hot enough to melt the pipes? they seem ok

Any sugestions??

Cheers,

Tom

If there's a filter in there give it a good clean out. A silly one just make sure it's not crimping up. What's it like with the bonnet open?

Genuis!! Just had another look at the pipes and when the bonnet starts to close the pipe snags on the strut brace and pretty much folds in half!

problem solved, thanks!!
