Windscreen Washer Jets trickling...

[Mark_]

Okay so Im pretty sure that the motor is still working as I can hear the 'whirring' like noise it makes when you pull the stalk control forward on the steering column controls thingy! The washer bottle is full of liquid and all that seems to happen is liquid trickling out. It doesnt even make the windscreen! There is just no pressure coming from the 'jets'!

I have found this thread: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?537299-Washer-jets-issues-fix-guide

Tried following it but I cant make much sense of it! (Probably being a r****d, I know and maybe its late!) Has anyone got any other descriptions or pictures to help me out! Assuming that I dont need to buy another motor!!

Thanks a lot!

Mine started doing that and the pump died about two weeks later.

So do you think I need a new pump then? Even though I can hear it 'working'? Do you have a link to your guide please?

Oh dear! :dapprove: What did you do?

Thanks people!

I am in the process of doing this atm,pump makes all the right noises, but just a dribble.

Got a new pump arriving today, so we'll see how that works.

Has already been said just get another off ebay for a fiver. Mine was the same.

I did take the wiper arm off as it came of pretty easy, and you get slightly more room to lift back scuttle panel, just pull up on pump, will come off with a bit of force, unplug wires and hoses noting which goes to which, retrieve washer from old pump, transfer to new, attach wires and hoses and push back into place.

There will be a loss of fluid unless you empty the bottle.

What he said ^ I just didn't take off the wiper arm.

Fck me,you got fingers like ET?

Lol, I just bent back the scuttle panel and pulled out the old one. A slight problem occurred as i didn't bring the rubber bung with it and when i pushed the new pump in the bung disappeared into the water bottle...doh!
A new bung onto the pump first worked the second time around.

Has anyone got a link for the washer motor on eBay as I think mines just gone too and can mainly only find second hand ones. Found this in an earlier thread on here, Clio isn't listed but someone said it was the same:
