Ever since I have had my car, the washer jets havent worked. I have checked that there is water in the bottle and it is still full. When I try to use them I get a noise as if they are working, and the blades go, but nothing comes out. I have tried unblocking the jets with a pin and that hasnt worked. Even felt to see if the water tube stiffens to see if any water is getting to them, but nothing. Same with the back one. But there is never any water underneath the car.

Blocked pipes? Any ideas on how to change them? Or any suggestions at all?

Thanks.

Kev.

just keep trying a pin to clean them out bud, or when the bonnet is up, you can see the clear pipes running along the the sprayers, check the pipes to see if the are choked up, or if they even have water in>> if they dont, the pipes must be blocked from the water tank...

could be a few things, but i normally take pipe off by moter first and see if moter is pumping water threw, iobvuasly if moter deont pump water threw thenm moters had it. if moter works then stick an airline on the end of the pipe and gently blow air down, if the airline wont push it out then water wont. if this still deoant work, take the pipe apart at different joints and blow air threw. you may find its just jets, or 1 peice of pipe, hope this helps.

follow the pipes round to see any blockages if not check the motor to see if water is being pushed. if not get a new bottle and cable from citroen

they are easy to change just pop them out by pressing in each side.

Also pull the pipe off the bottom of the jet and suck it and see lol. just see if you can get any water out and yes it wont taste nice.
