    As mentioned in title my front washer isn't working.

    The rear washer works, wipers work etc.

    There's no sound coming from the motor. Motor is new.

    Do I need to replace the stalk?

    Thanks

    When you say the rear washer works,is there water coming from it?

    Yes, water comes out and you can hear the motor going.

    Well theres only 1 washer motor that does front/rear so its likely that the washer jets on the front are blocked.Push a pin down the holes to unblock them.

    I will do that right now.

    When I flick the stalk there's no noise from the motor for the front washer.

    The rear washer works and you can hear noise from the motor.

    Sounds like you need a new stalk(even though the rest is working)

    Are front and rear washer's on the same fuse? Have a look in the manual. Pretty sure the pump just reverses polarity for the front and rear.
