You tried poking a pen in the bits where the liquid squirts out? Could be a bit blocked

when you pull the wiper stalk towards you does screen wash come out the front or the back and also check the washer pipe for leaks you can also disconnect the washer pipe from the bonnet jet and just see if it squirts washer fluid out from the pipe

Thanks for the replys. A while back one of the nozzles was blocked and I cleared it by poking it with a bit of wire. Fluid only comes out the rear when I turn the knob on the stalk. Nothing at all out the front. This has started when I ran dry off screen wash?

open the bonnet and pull the pipe off the bonnet jet and see if it just squirts out the pipe

if still nothing check for leaks

if no leaks i would say requires new washer pump

has your car got headlight washer jets ?

 

[Mr bean]

if you have headlight washers you can swap the plug connectors(as washer bottle is fitted with 2 washer pumps 1 for front/back) on the washer pump and use the rear washer pump as your front one :approve:

Get some Citroen Xsara jets tbh

I will pull the pipes off tomorrow and see if it squirts. The pump must still be working if it is pumping to the rear. I Have headlight washers but rather I didnt as I think they are pointless. The nozzles make the car look better though IMO.

So far I have had all the annoying faults as follows in under two years.

1. Heater resistor pack failure.

2. Broken driver door check strap ( clicking )

3. Rear bearing failure

4. Hand brake failure

5. Windscreen washer jet failure

6. Melted thumb grips

7. Exhaust bracket failure ( banging off axle/ even after being propped up with a socket )

8. External thermometer failure/ 87 degrees celcius it was today according to my car.

Renault really know how to build a quality car using the best quality parts and expertise in engineering the cnuts that they are.

Still love the car but the list above would start to try any bodys patience.

I changed the front tube to the rear tube but there is no good preasure cause the rear runs at a much lower preasure :S
