Corsa window washer

[stevenv]

I've got a 2010 Corsa and the window washer (sprayer) has quit working, both front and back. Have always only used either water or proper cleaning fluid (from Midas) so I'm pretty sure its not clogged. When I pull the stalk, I can hear a click in the dash and the wipers still operate but absolutely no water comes out of the nozzles, not even a trickle. Has anyone had anything like this before? I'm thinking it *might* be the pump that sucks the water from the bottle. The vehicle is still under warranty so I can take it to the dealer but if its something not covered (e.g. blocked), their hourly charge (R600) is crazy. Any recommendations of garages/service centre in the Tableview/Milnerton area that I could take it in for an opinion?

Hmm no idea how good this is but put some water in and maybe get someone to pull the sprayer and then blow with ur mouth into the cap to create some pressure? I have same car and sometimes water doesn't come through and then all of a sudden it work again...

Cool thanks for the suggestion. Does sound weird but will try to give it a shot.

Yea, this would only help if the pump is still working! My logic says that someone has to activily be spraying(open the pump inlet/outlet) the water while you blow to open the valve to get the flow going again. Won't cost you anything so worth the try! Although that being said it may be better to suck if something is indeed lodged in the inlet pipe as you don't want to push it in further? Try both with sucking 1st..

Even with the water tank full mine sometimes take a few seconds to start spraying water onto the screen. Perhaps try spraying with the cleaning fluid tank open to see if that makes a difference.
