Help please Re: Rear washer jet.

[Big_E]

Hi Guys, I've had ye old problem of no water coming out the rear washer, so tonight I decided to sort it.

I took off the cover, and saw that the tube feeing it was all still connected, and all bone dry. The end of the pipe was perfect and all seem to be normal, as per below :




So I decided to have a look at the washer bottle and the pipes, as I thought there must be a blockage along the way, so I disconnected all the washer bottle etc.

Now from what I could see there are two pipes :



Which I thought were front a rear as they connected into the motor / pump :



With the pipes being loose I decided to check it was coming out the bottle OK. So With the pipes disconnected I blocked one side and tried the front, water came out fine from one side of the bottle pump, I blocked that and tried the rear, to which no water has come out the other side, BUT that side also seemed to have a "Constant" flow of water out of it.

I dipped both of the end's in water and blew the pipe at the boot end, no bubbles fro, the one I thought went to the rear, although I felt resistance when I was blowing, it seemed as it some Air was going through, but to the extent of water through a straw as I was expecting.

So I am kind of stumped, does anyone know anything about this:


And if indeed, one side if for front and one is for rear ? And what kind of resistance should be felt when blowing through the pipe from rear to front, should it be smooth and open like a straw ?

I'm really stuck on this one guys, anyone she some expert advice ?

Just for reference, I fixed the problem, it was indeed this thread which helped me.
