Window washer problem-Weird one

glasgowjim

Hi all,

I have a Picasso 02 plate and the screen wash has gone wonky.
Until yesterday it worked great back and front, but today, when i pull the stalk to wash windscreen it comes out the back one for the rear screen!
The back one works ok as it should, it's just that the front one now sprays fluid onto the back screen. I have a full bottle and it has proper screen wash in it.

Any ideas folks?

It'll be the pipes under the bonnet that have come adrift.

Thanks mate, will have a look in the morning.

As harveybobbles has said it sounds like the pipes under the bonnet - the windscreen washer bottle will have a small pump attached to it somewhere with two pipes coming from it - one will take the washer fluid to the back window and the other to the windscreen. Probably just a pipe has worked its way loose of the pump.

If the front pipe has come loose, is it possible for the water to go to rear window even though im operating the front window washer?

Depends how the system is set up I suppose - first thing to do is get under there tomorrow and make sure nothing is loose and take it from there.
