Screen washers not working mk4 VRS

Featured Replies

hi everyone. .

I have a mk4 Octavia VRS, today I noticed that the front screen washers are not working, the rear ones are just a dribble. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I'm assuming since you're able to access a computer, you've filled the washer bottle?

By dribble, do you mean a constant dribble, or what looks like the last of what's left in the tube?

If both front and rear have failed, then the issue is likely the pump - can you hear it try? Does it sound like it's dying, only make a noise for front or back, etc?

It's a £60 part if genuine - have a search on here and you'll find a similar post on the Mk3 section from a few days ago.

Assuming the pump is still sounding (you have a rear dribble suggesting this to be the case), likely blocked pump filter. I have had this happen repeatedly. You'll need to pull the pump and clean the filter.
