back windscreen washer hose blocked

hertz

My back windscreen washer hose is blocked. I can use the wiper but no fluid comes out.
Is there a solution I could buy to put into the washer fluid reservoir that could flush the pipes through and dissolve any blocked sediment?

Its probably leaking somewhere as opposed to being blocked,so everytime you use it you are spraying water somewhere it's not meant to be and most likely on the inside of the boot.

Is it a VW or Audi by any chance?

Lift the bonnet and have somebody operate the washer. see if there is water spraying anywhere in the engine bay. If so, its simply a matter of pushing the hose back to the connector.

If not, you may need to remove the washer itself from the boot and clean it out. They usually clip in and out. What car is it?

Its an 01 Honda Civic.

May be a blown fuse.

Have an '09 A3 myself and rear washer fluid is v weak coming out, only coming out in a small dribble that hardly covers any of the windscreen, anyone know of any cures/remedies?!

Try a pin / sowing needle in the jet nosel sometime they partly block

Try the pin in the jet as it takes very little to block them...
If its still a problem I've blown the line back with air and it has helped, just push the air hose at the garage as tight onto the opening as you can and give it a few blasts, have the reservoir cap off to allow the air through the system..

It worked every time for me.
