NewcastleKaroq

I have removed the plastic jets which appear to be unblocked. I think I've spotted a wet hose under the bulkhead tray so I suspect there's a leak allowing the screenwash to drain down to a certain level in the hose between sprays, thereby requiring a delay to fill back up, and poor pressure because of the leak. I have an RAC warrant from the dealer - taking it back to them.

Thanks Ootohere. Would clogged jets explain the weak flow AND the delay?

I have a 2019 Karoq 1.5 Sportline. I bought it in July 2024. The windscreen washers have not worked properly in the time I have owned it, but I've only just realised the severity of the problem since winter has arrived. When I pull the stalk to squirt fluid onto the screen there is a 4-5 second delay before any fluid is released from the jets. Once it does flow the flow is weak and piddles a small amount onto the screen. I believe there should be an immediate spray onto the screen at high power. The jets are little horizontal slits, which I have adjusted into the highest position. Headlamp washers work fine. Rear wiper works fine. Any ideas? Video attached. Kev. IMG_2251.MP4
