Washer Issue

Danny24 · May 13th, 2021, 10:12

Afternoon to you all,

Yesterday - pulled the stalk for the front windscreen washers: both front, back and headlight washers all worked okay

Noticed that the amount coming out of the front washers was getting a bit low so decided to top up.

Issue: Front washers let out water but under little to no pressure.
Headlight washers works okay, rear washer works okay

The Pump makes the usual whirring noise so it seems to be okay.

Does any know of any fixes to this issue and the best way to check for issues.

Volvo C30 D5 (57 Plate)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Removed the hoses under the bonnet, checked the T-Joint underneath.
Cleaned inside the hoses, used a small pin to clean the jets on the bonnet.

Water is coming out of both however just not under a great amount of pressure.

Did try just the hoses on their own with the jets attached and water is being sent up.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
