Richard_420R Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Pump runs, but fluid comes out underneath car and not through nozzles. Have tried the old 'pin in the nozzles' technique but no good. Feels like fluid is getting pumped out of the reservoir so a blockage somewhere else - I hardly use it so might just wait for the next MOT ... unless there is an easy fix someone can suggest?Cheers!

Member Jonathan Kay Posted December 20, 2022 Member Share Posted December 20, 2022 More pressure! Can you get a car or bike tyre pump onto the tube?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Any snot in the hose will just get pushed deeper into the nozzle with more pressure. I would pull the hose off the nozzle and try to see if it flows. If so, clean nozzle with wire or pin from above, or remove it from scuttle and plonk in descaler.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted December 20, 2022 Area Representative Share Posted December 20, 2022 As SM25T - disassemble the system. Put a 12V DC onto the pump to see if the pump is pumping or just whirring. Clean the hose anyway, no harm to be done there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_420R Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 Pump is pumping as washer fluid ends up on floor when pump is engaged. Looks like blockage at nozzle end ... will have to see how accessible it is - do you need to get into scuttle to access? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted December 21, 2022 Member Share Posted December 21, 2022 IIRC it takes small hands to get the tubing onto the base of the nozzle but it is possible. And yes, if a pin and a pump won't shift the blockage then try a piece of wire. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
