nickwill Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 My front windscreen washer has stopped squirting water. Instead, it squirts it onto the rear window, even though the rear washer is in the off position. Any advice on what is wrong ? Thanks in anticipation, Nick Quote
kfk Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 The washer pump is blocked internally.....you might be able to clear it by blowing down the rear washer pipe and front washer pipe......but then again you might need a new pump. Quote
nickwill Posted September 12, 2006 Author Posted September 12, 2006 Thanks for the quick reply .... I'll give it a go. Nick Quote
old'uns Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 same as me, cleaned out pipes, worked for a while. when serviced replaced diaphragm part of pump, all ok. off top of head about £12 for part Quote
bigbri838 Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 strange system used on the c5, just uses one motor to work both front and rear washers. It just reverses the motor direction and the water pressure from the pump (should) moves a shuttle valve on the base of the motor sealing the system not in use. You can take the valve off the base and cleam it out if you're very careful (or tight), but it is not a permanent fix. Should last for about 3-4 bottles full (maybe more in softer water areas). If you're going to buy a new pump, may be worthwhile use demin water to increase the longevity. Quote
