Hi, I have a 2010 Altea XL and have a problem with the front windscreen washers.
The pump appears to work fine but the liquid pressure has dropped and some of the spray is coming out of the sealed area on the right hand side of the bonnet. I would think that a pipe may have come detached or split but it is in the sealed area at the top of the bonnet.
Has anyone ever taken this area apart as I don’t want to go to the garage if all that the problem is that the pipe has come off!
Thoughts and advice would be very welcome
Thanks

Had same sort of issue a number of years ago on a 2005 std Altea with blocked jets (as well as wiper motor/wiring issue) and managed to remove all the necessary bits without too much difficulty myself. Unfortunately I cannot remember exactly what I did and didn't take any pictures but patience was useful......and no special tools were required!

Sorry but can only be a little help!
