Screen washer issue

Featured Replies

Hi there. Both front screen washers have stopped working, reservoir full and headlamp and rear screen washers working. Any ideas?

Thanks

Pump is running, definitely not a fuse. Before they stopped the washers did a final squirt with a small volume, looked like fluid had run out

I suspect a blockage in the hose before the joint to both nozzles.

You're probably right Steve. It's under extended warranty, AA are sending a Skoda breakdown service, will post an update.

The pump does both windscreen and lights. Windscreen pipe has a filter on it. Probably blocked

Blocked pump filter screen…common issue.

Breakdown man cleared the filter but not fixed, needs an airline to clear blockage in the pipe, so booked into the dealer this week.

An update. The dealer had the car for a couple of hours but couldn't work out what was wrong. Is now booked in for 2 days next week....

In case anyone is interested, this issue was finally resolved today.

Skoda dealer had the car in on three separate occasions:

30 October. Couldn't identify fault. Booked for 2 days.

13 & 14 November. Said was fixed, worked once on way home, then packed up. I noticed both washer nozzles were now broken, which they didn't admit to.

11 December. First date they could get the car back in. Faffed about, still couldn't fix it, decided car needed new reservoir and pump, but told me Skoda wouldn't handle as extended warranty claim. Quoted £372.48

Yesterday I booked the car in to a local independent (Moss and Hall Engineering, Stapleford). Job done at 1pm today, blocked filter cleared, 2 new jets fitted, total £194.

No wonder main dealers have a bad reputation.

Great feedback, good you got a resolution
