windscreen washer just aint a-washin no more!

my washer is full of water, and it makes all the right noises, but no water comes out! does anyone have some magic answer for me that doesnt involve taking it all apart? :dunno:

have you tried putting a pin in the jet and have someone opperate the washer?

Known problem areas are the pipes getting full of gunk, and the non-return valve failing.
You can take the non-return valve out, and blow through the piping.
As above the other problem can be the jets blocked.

thanks for that, but i have the peugeot/citroen washers, so atleast a few holes should be working!

If you pull the pipe off the non-return valve(circular black thing on the bonnet), you can then try the pump and see where your problem is.
