    The filter on the pump is blocked, more than likely. Disconnect the pump and just pull it out. It's just pressed in and the rubber seals itself. No harm to take out the wash bottle and give it a clean while you're at it. Just a 10mm spanner needed.

    One only or both? Open bonnet find tube that supplies water to both wipers, disconnect squirt water and see what the pressure is like, could be blocked, use needle or toothpick to clear.

    Could be water pump doubt it though, I've had to clear dirt out of mine a few times.

    ^^ prob spot on there actually

    Should have bought a petrol! The washer motor may have the torque but its all about the revs baby.

    Will try and clean them out. thanks. Only have the car 2 weeks. It’s a 03 model. How would I know if the turbo is gone as ive heard rumours about it being faulty on this model.
