   Hey guys,
   
   I same to have a issue with my wash bottle for my windscreen. Basicly when i test it with the engine off nothing happens, but yet when i start her up I can hear my motor/pump turning but yet nothing comes out the jets. I have cleared the tubes and there is nothing stuck in them and there is luqid in the tank. But nothing comes out still.
   
   Please help,
   Regards, Codey_H

   Get a pin and stick it in the jets, does water come out of the hose with it pulled off the jets.

   Do you get any fluid from the rear washer? If you say the pipes are clear and check as above it can only really leave the pump.

   Nothiong comes out of either front or back jets, So i can only guess its the pumps thats broken or blocked, but i have no idea how it comes off or anything

   Stick two dishwasher tablets in the washer bottle then fill with warm water.

    Did I read that correctly? Put 2 dishwasher tablets in the water bottle and fill with warm water? And what is this supposed to do?
