   My washers are squirting water after 5 sec's. in this time the wipers are working so my window can be scratched. Does anyone know why they're working so late? Same problem at the rear one.

   Might be a slight block in the pipes?

   has it been a while since you used them? maybe it just needs to work its way through the pipes, unless it doing it all the time?

   Last summer they were working fine...Now any time I use them, it's the same problem.
   I use them almost every day, so can't be that

   First thing to do is poke a pin down the washer jets on the bonnet. Two holes on each. That fixed mine as most blockages happen there due to dirt build up when not is use very often. If not i would say new pump.
