Hi everyone
Having a bit of trouble with the window washers on my MK3 Fabia, which have stopped working recently. Hoping someone could maybe point me in the right direction?
- Front and Rear window washers are not working. Window wipers both work fine normally, just not the washer function
- When engaging either washer the wipers will come on but nothing else happens - no noise from the pump either
- The washer reservoir is full of fluid. Admittedly this was a very poor mix of concentrate and water, and temperatures have recently been -5c
- I topped the reservoir up with roasting hot water in the hope it would thaw out any frozen water in the system, I could then clear it out and fill it up with proper screenwash. This didn't work
- Sprayed hot water on the washer jets in the hope it would thaw them. Still didn't work
- Checked 10amp fuse for Front & Rear washer system which hasn't blown
The car has been booked into Skoda on Monday morning for a diagnosis, but I suppose I am really just looking to save myself the embarrassment if it has been caused by something I have done.
Can anyone confirm that the pump on their MK3 does indeed make noise when either A - the system is frozen, or B - the system is completely out of water?
Any other advise offered would be gratefully appreciated
Thanks in advance
Steven
