Windscreen washer problem
Hi All
I have a harmony boxer and have a problem with near side screen washer in as much that it's not working, driver side no problem.
I have used a piece of flexible wire and treading it up through the sprayers on the bonnet but without any success, so before I start taking things to bits has anyone out there experienced a similar problem and fixed it.
Thanks in advance

I had the same problem, and ended up taking the washer bottle out to clean it. It was gunge in the pump filter. Since cleaned, it's worked perfectly.

Re: Windscreen washer problem
Had a similar problem. The T piece which diverts the screen wash to each sprayer had a non return valve inside was faulty and problem solved by its replacement. The T piece in my boxer is under the bonnet sound deadening material on the near side.
Also cleaned out wash reservoir.
Hope this helps.

Experience has taught me that using anything except purpose made screen wash solution can cause gunge to build up and block the jets. For some reason, washing up liquid such as Fairy Liquid seems to be one of the worst things.
