Open bonnet and pull out hoses going into Nozzles. Check water is coming out of them and that there are no splits in the hoses. If its fine the you need new nozzles. They are only a few pounds from Renault. They had them in stock when I went for my replacement ones. Careful you don't damage the bonnet when removing old ones. I used a small screwdriver with a cloth wrapped round the end to lever them up.

How many miles has it done?

I had both my pumps changed at around 60k.

it has done 63 but im sure the pump was changed at about 40? the rear one is perfect and one jet out of the front 4 is ok but that not even on the right side lol!

Same problem on my Megane but even the rear washer splutters lol

hey, i removed the pipe from the iffy jet and turned on the washer and it blasted through the hose. i then sprayed the jet with wd40 and reconected the hose. i turned it on again and it still didnt worked n just kinda leaked over my bonnet lol??

try putting a safety pin through the holes to try clear them out. The only other thing that works a treat is compressed air and and an air blower

i have had a bit of a prod with a needle but not much look. compressed air would b an idea. cheers guys.
