2005 S60 wiper jet playing up

[ploppy]

Ok,, got this little problem,

If i pull the windscreen wiper stalk towards me a jet of water sperts out for less than a second then just dribbles out on bot jets on bonnet.

Have checked that the jets are not blocked can hear the pump working..

Any ideas please

Cheers

Sometimes there is a Filter/gauze in the rubber bung that the pump sits in the bottle, if some twit has put fairy liquid in there it clogs the gauze up

thanks,

is it easy to remove the washer bottle, can see one star screw sitting on the top?

Err that screw just holds the filler neck that you can remove to help you change the headlamp bulbs.

brilliant,

thank you ..

where is the the place you say it might clog on that diagram?

[stribo]

I'd say number 9.

Number 9 as stribo has pointed out, unless you have pumps 6 and 7, in which case its where there fit into the bottle, unfortunatly not shown on the diagram but will be easy to see once looking at the bottle on the car.

How do you remove the bottle?

Thanks

You'd probably be better off doing it in situ, as I think the bumper has to come off to take the bottle out.

some screen wash go to a thick gel after a long time I found this out the hard way at work and bunged pumps up you hear them spinning but don't pump any thing , other thing to watch out for is a cracked pipe , audi and vw are prone to this
