    Hi guys, the windscreen washer has stopped working after the cold spell. Bottle is full and the rear one is working. Anyone have any ideas about this.

    maybe plug out connector and check for 12volts on the pins when the windscreen wash is activated...if your getting 12volts then your pump is goosed.

    Is there any noise from the fronts? You may have fried the motor when trying to use the wipers when frozen. There's a few threads on the same topic.

    That'll be expensive - i'd use a good local auto electrician instead.

    Wipers are fine, but no noise from the front jets, the back jets worked, but then stopped. I thought it was prob a blockage.

    check the fuse before you get it checked out by a mechanic.

    has gone a few times on the oh's car.

    Its on a different fuse to the wiper motor. I'd imagine the C3 is the same as the P306 as they are both made by PSA. If its the same as the P306 it should be on fuse #14 in the engine bay.

    If its not the fuse its the washer pump, these do give problems, you can get a replacement one on ebay for €10 including shipping! Anyone handy would be able to fit it.
