[Mk2] [NA] windscreen washer?

Post by klimite »

Hey I've tried searching but the search engine on here sucks and never brings up anything..

my windscreen washer doesnt appear to be pumping. Where is the unit located and how to I go about testing it?

the cars currently off having the head gasket done :-: but when it's back i need to get the other stuff sorted!

Silly question, but are you pushing the button in on the end of the arm? It has been known for people to think that just pulling the arm back (single wipe function) activates the washers.

If you are, then it's a case of tracing back from the washer motor (check for voltage) and checking the fuse.

As above........

Have you also checked that the washer jets aren't blocked ? A pin normally sorts them out.
