Sounds like it's suffering from the common problem of the hose coming loose somewhere. Hope you haven't tried it too much, incase your boot's now flooded.

they normally pop off in the boot or the engine bay, do a search theres loads on here about it!

 

[chris060685]

no water in boot and have tried quite alot

 

[st10587]

mine come apart under the bonnet which made it squirts out and cleans your engine bay!

I remember my old Corsa did that years ago. Was blocked at the pump in the engine bay and squirted screenwash everywhere in there!

Had the same problem with my first beezer. Got it fixed under warranty. Guy was like "oh we got another one!" common problem.

so i take it theres 2 lines for front washers and the rear then, iv checked boot nw gunna check in engine bay. will u see the water when u try and do it? or do things need removing to see?

 

[st10587]

with mine as soon as you pressed the rear wash wipe it was clear where it was coming from as it sprayed out and a huge puddle appeared! from memory the line runs along the n/s of the engine bay

 

[chris060685]

when u found it was it easy to fix? or are new parts required?

 

[st10587]

nope it just has this little connector that clips together, just like a push fit!

 

[chris060685]

cool hope thats just the case, will have a look tomorrow. thanks mate

 

[st10587]

just stand back when you switch the washer on otherwise youll get washed! great trick to play on a friend! lol

Even better, Get your dad to look in the nozzle to see if its blocked, The thick sod did, and got a face full!

 

[chris060685]

[st10587]
