2005 Skoda Octavia windscreen washers
Year: 2005

Leaks & Noises
I refilled the screen wash. When I pushed the lever to wash the rear window, a small jet also came out of both jets onto the front windscreen. When I pulled the lever to wash the front windscreen, only the small, weak jets again. Now , nothing! I've looked under the bonnet but cannot see the pipes in order to check they are connected. Any ideas???? Cant wash windows atm! Thanks

It could be a hose off or a blockage ,you could start by checking that the rear washer jet,s clear and work from there.

Hi
this seems to be similar to a problem I had on one of my cars, where the jets were blocked because the water was let get to low in the bottle and debris then sucked from the bottom and blocked the jets, recommend you use a very thin sowing needle and try and clear the jets which are now probably all blocked, but make sure the bottle is kept topped up and keep trying to get the water through having worked on the jets one at a time and once you have cleared the jets, empty the bottle and clean thoroughly.

Sounds like blockage on pump/ filter with the usual gunge in washer bottle..

remove pump check and clean filter also check one way valve they can leak and reduce pressure and of course check jets
