Windscreen washer problems

[Mike]

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get the windscreen washers working as I have no way of getting the pump out of the car.

Pump is working but no liquid coming through.

If the pump is working it could be the screen wash has turned to like a runny jelly and the best way of cleaning it is to remove it and wash it through with bicarb of soda or sutch like. Blow through the pipes to to clear them out. Are you sure the pump is ok because ive known them to spin but not enough power to pump water through.

When I took it in to be serviced I was advised that it was sludge, will give bicarb a try.

Some of the screen wash fluids that you can buy dont like being mixed together and can form a horrible gel.

I always run my washers low before topping up.I also use them more than strictly necessary to keep them free.alut:

Had a problem with our 1.4 and as well as the pump being u/s there was a split in the pipe from the pump, underneath the wheel arch cover, that was drastically reducing the pressure.
