i have chcked the water and its fine
also checked if anything is preventing the water from spraying (dust/debris) but it doesnt seem to work

any idea what i could look for/

thanks

is the pump working, can you hear it trying to pump the water out. ?

as above. if not, check the fuse first, dont remember if its footwell or bay fuse box. if it is pumping, will have to investigate the bottle, pump is on the bottom side of it.

More than likely the pump strainer is blocked by gunk, they are bad for this, Turn wheels fully left and remove one of the splashguard clips just so you can get your hand through into the wash bottle and just pull out the pump from the bottle and pick out the gunk from the strainer and refit.

Pump is a common fault on coupe's. You can get a new from eBay for £12 it will say 2006-2009 but does fit and work. Easiest way to get too it is by removing the driver's side headlight 3 x 10mm bolts.

If you do get a new one off E Bay then do not use the rubber seal that comes with it as they rarely fit, use the old one and little squish of WD40 when putting the new pump in. I found out it did seal after I put the headlight back! DOH!

Have recently bought my car and the front washers weren't working. Having looked at the washer pump (found it far easier and quicker to remove the headlight), I discovered the problem was the small tube (to the washer itself) had come loose on the pump. Was a simple matter of pushing it back on and it worked straight away.
