xsara windscreen washer

gar_29 · 2010-01-05 13:49:42

heya, when i flick the lever to clean the windscreen, the water won't come out. i can't even hear the little motor that pumps it. the wipers come on as usual, as though they thought the water was pumping. (hope that makes sense!) is it something i can fix myself, or should i just drop it to the garage? gar

Agreed.. I always use neat washer fluid.

If you need a quick fix.. take the car for a hot jet wash!
