Rear washer coming out the front when used - Saxperience

ForteRob · 27th July 2016, 19:20

Hello again!

As above.
When I go to use the rear washer jet as you should. It sprays the front ones.

Any ideas? Front washers and both wiper functions work fine and as should do.

Thank you!

Only thing I can think of is that the washer pipes are plumbed in back to front on the pump.

When I use the front ones though they come out the front? Or is there something I'm missing here? :/

Here's a thought. Do the Saxo pumps have a valve to Diver from front to back? I know some Peugeots did and it could get stuck?

I've had this exact issue, think it was a buggered pump. I took the rear wiper off and just used it to wet the windows initially, stopped wipers being used dry.

FIXED!!!!

Remove wheel and liner.
Bloudy plastic screw things are the Bain of my life!!

Remove 12v power supply

Now my clear pipe went on White and black pipe on black, remove them.

Then pull the pump out the washer bottle. This can be done while there of take the pump and reservoir out the arch and THeN remove the pump. Just tug.

The pump is SUPER SIMPLE. The top big end. Make a mark where it connects it goes back on identical (a waterproof mark as you'll be washing most of the device)
Then YANK it off, don't be shy there on tight.

Now remove the motor, making a mental note of how it went in exacly! Take a photo!!

Now yank the entire white and black spouts off the bottom end together, these are on tight also.

Now pull the white half away from the black half. There is a small tooth keeping it together to stretch the black stopper over it with a small flathead screwdriver.

These is hard to open but be prepared for it to give lol.

Now, inside is a grey plastic ring with a rubber cylinder inside that. This is the "valve" that move to either side when the water is pumped to decide whether it's going to the rear or the front.
If your motor isn't knackered and it's not working. Then this is the culprit, any grit, dirt, sludge and grime will be in this chamber stopping this valve moving.

So fill the sink with hot soapy water, soak for a minute the scrub the grime out of everything but NOT the top motor it the top motor housing lid!! (It's electric, so not waterproof 👍🏼👍&#127996

I blew into each pipe to make sure it's fine, dried it all out completely, then sprayed iust a DRIBBLE of WD40 into the black and white valve chamber to aid sliding for a bit while the water gets to it.

Re assemble in reverse it all just clicks back... It does clock even if you think your pushing your hardest it will give.

Then test!!

And VOILA!!!

Like me you should now have a perfectly working rear windscreen wash again!

Here's some reference photos
