my washer jets have always been shite, they just piss a bit up the windscreen at the bottom but got no power behind them... just lately they do naff all and instead the water treakles out and runs down the bonnet! lol so no chance of getting any on my windscreen which is annoying now the roads are covered with winter shit.
does it sound like the washer jet motor is stuffed? the water tank thing is full inc. windscreen wash stuff aswell, or do you think there could be a blockage too?
if its a new motor job, is it an easy swap and how much am I looking at?
Cheers

try taking a needle to the jets....
A new motor is a very simple job. Take off the scuttle and it's pretty self explanitory from then on.

you can also re-align the nozzles using the pin like this if they have moved

At work we join it with a piece of copper brake pipe, fits just nicely inside the rubber hose.

if you have any excess tubing just get a stanley knife and cut just above the split and put it back on!
if your really strapped for cash, nip down to the local scrappy and pick up a new motor and tubing
