Windscreen Washer Jets

[mark27]

Hi Folks,

Just a question on the above topic.
I just bought a 05 Bora 1.4 and the windscreen washer jets not working. They worked while driving home from the dealer but stoped about 2 hours after.
I can hear the noise of them trying to pump out water and a trickle comes out so I know its not a fuse.

If they are clogged up whats the best way to clear them?
I know I could bring it back to the dealer but its a bit of a drive and dont want to waste petrol if its just the pipes clogged up.

Any help appricated

Thanks

Plan A: Check all the hoses are connected and straight(ish).

Plan B: Rubbish to drink but try sticking a bottle cleaning brush or old dishbrush/toothbrush into the screenwash tank, waggling it around, then siphoning it out. Refill with plain water - repeat.
