Fabia 1.4 Tdi Sport,

Investigating lack of screen wash and noticed that as quick as I poured water in it was flooding out under the front N/S.

Always use screenwash fluid and increased the strength over the colder period, the washers always worked - after the nozzles has unfrozen - but today the washers did'nt work although the motor was whirring away.

Removal of bottle looks a bit of a problem - wheel arch protector off, headlight off, probably battery off.

Dealer - Streets of Bristol - went pop not long after I got the car, suspect not a lot of dealers want cast off warranty work, but think this is not covered.

Will probably have a go myself over the weekend but will need a new bottle - anyone had similar experience ?

Problem sorted,

Took off wheel & 17 screws holding on wheel arch liner and found that one end of the pump diverter that sends water to either the back or front screens had partialy come adrift.

Pushed it back in and wrapped a cable tie around it to hopefully stop it coming out again and all seems ok.

Both front & rear jets worked & no leaking water.

Quite a quick job as it turned out about 1.5 hours - just as well cos it was a bit cold.

Have taken a photo which I may post later of problem.

Don't know if it was not assembled correctly but went together with a click when reassembled.

Photo of offending pump, the black end pointed by orange brush was hanging out,

All ok now.

Probably worth asking a dealer to have a look at it under warranty when you're next in for something.
