Pathetic Excuse for a washer jet

[phil20vt]

My front washer jets have given up on me! There seems to be no pressure behind them at all. Have used a pin to clean out the nozzles to no avail. I've also disconnected the pipes from the tank and blown an air line down to see if theres any blockages but still no luck. Does it sound like the pumps goosed? It still whines like it should when pressing the stork. Any help is much appreciated.

Are you getting anything out of it at all? If you can see if you get pressure from as close to the pump as possible... if you can't get anything or the pressure is the same then i'd say it was the pump.

The pump has two non-return valves on it. It turns one way to wash the windscreen, the other way to wash the tailgate window, and the non-return valves make this work. If you've got any debris into the washer bottle, the valve may have jammed partly shut.

Have a look at the pump and the pipes leading from it. I expect you'll find something blocking a valve or the pump inlet.
