Low Windscreen Washer Pressure

[Compo1]

Hi Lads,

Ive next to sod all windscreen washer pressure.

I replaced the standard 3 jet washers as they resembled 3 ants with prostrate problems pissing on the screen with genuine mist versions and it is still no better.

So im suspecting either a pump issue or a blocked filter.

Is there a filter in the reservoir somewhere ?

Is it a wheel arch cover removal job to get the reservoir out ?

I'd appreciate any time saving tips.

cheers

The only filter is in the filler neck of the reservoir, or that's where it should be, a strainer right in the inlet. I doubt however that debris is your issue - the filter is to stop small particles that may clog the jets. You've new jets so thats not the problem. Could be a pump issue, or a kink/leak in a hose somewhere.

Thanks mate

Looks like ill need to get the res out and replace the pump then.

As the front and rear share a pump, is the rear spray jet of water what you would consider to be "normal", if so it sounds like a pipe is crushed/bent/trapped.

You know what ive not tried the rear.

I'll go try it.

Well it has to be the pump failing it literally spits out the rear washer.

Thanks lads

You also have a filter just before the pump check that’s not clogged before getting a new one just remove the pump and clean the filter and try washers to see if that’s the problem gone
