screen wash tubes

[Joju]

Hello all. Can anyone offer any help on repairing screen was tubes?
I can hear the pump, and some water squirts weakly, but lot leaks out underneath.
I do not know where to start looking for the lines. Where do they go?

My guess is a tube has blown off somewhere from a block, maybe frozen in the colder weather this winter.


any experience welcome!

Get your head down under the LHF corner, and you'll see the bottom of the tank. The pipe connects directly to the pump in the bottom of the tank, then heads upwards and forwards, before disappearing towards the dash and jets. Remove the headlight grille, and you'll see a bit more of it.

You may be able to find where it's disconnected itself (probably split somewhere) without dropping the tank. If you need to drop the tank, it's not hard. Get a length of washer hose from Halfrauds or wherever, along with a joining piece, and just replace it from the pump to as high up as you comfortably can. I need to do the same job on ours.

Check the grommits haven't perished first and are seated properly - they were the cause of my washer not working.

I am not sure what or where these grommets are

One at filler tube and one at base of water pump.
