Hi guys, more help needed!

How powerful should the rear washer jet be on a MY99 Wagon (Sport if that makes any difference) - ours only squirts about 2/3inches up the window?

Any ideas for fixes or is the pump on it's way out (and yes I've cleaned the nozzle)!

pipes clogged up, weak pump, pipes squashed somewhere

Mine has just quit altogether, I can hear the pump running but no water, I am assuming the rear washer pipe routes all the way to the back of the car? It only happened since the car was serviced I wonder if they trapped a pipe when doing the plugs....

I don't know about newage cars, but my classic has it's pump/reservoir in the boot, behind the o/s rear light. The filler is on the rear panel top.

If it's not working, I'd suggest removing the reservoir and pump and as much of the tubing as possible and cleaning it all out. It MIGHT even be worth replacing the tubing as it gets sort of soft inside, and you end up with bits of like snot in the jets all the time.

Mine does the same, one day I'll maybe get round to trying to improve it.

I you do anything to improve it let me know.

Mine is a classic sports wagon, year 2000, 2.0l turbo, and when I try and use the rear washer the pump noise is from the engine compartment, there are also 2 pumps on the reservoir. I don't have a washer bottle reservoir at the back of the car, well if there is I haven't found one
