    hi all.

    i desperately need to find a car mechanic in the dundrum area or whereabouts today. since i have no time during the week, today is the only day. its to repair windscreen washer/pump.

    i called advance pitstop dundrum - their mechanic will not look at the car today.

    advance pitstop in russell street croke park isnt on site today and will not be available till monday.

    anywhere else i can check?or anyone knows?

    thanks for replying

    On most setups I've seen, the pump is in or at the tank

    Is the pump running for the washer jets? (ie is it an electrical problem, switch/fuse/relay)

    Or are they washer jets just blocked? you can usually unblock them with a pin, just don't break in pin in the nozzle :D

    Washer pump is usually at the bottom of the tank on the outside. Can you hear it come on when you press the switch (a whirring sound)? If not, check connectors etc and try again. Check fuses. If it does come on, then there is a blockage somewhere along the line.

    I'm sure you've checked, but make sure there's water in it!
