I was used my washer jets today and the had a really loud electric motor sound, used them the day before and all i could hear was the screenwash hitting the window, checked all the pipes they are fine, topped up screenwash, checked motor was in place properly but hasnt made any difference. Doesnt affect the performance of the washer jets, just really annoying!
Any ideas?

even when my screenwash bottle is full i have to wait ages for it to come out onto the screen, will be driving along sometimes with my finger pulling the screenwash stalk back and nothing will come out for up to a minute sometimes, pisses me right off lol!

Mine had that it was horrible as once it ran into the scuttle the air that was blown into the car when the fan was on smelt like it too
I took the tank out and washed it with soapy hot water and gave it a scrub. That solved it thankfully

Remove the bottle, remove the small rubber filter in the bottle. Give both parts a good clean. Put everything back, put some good screenwash in and some nice fresh water. Should be as good as new.
