The front windscreen washer jets on my 2009 SLX i30cw stopped working overnight a few days ago. I can hear the pump engaging but no squirt.
The rear one works but it's only a trickle (only had the vehicle a few weeks so I don't know if that's normal, but the flow is the same as before the front ones failed).
When the front ones were working, they sprayed pretty low and didn't seem too effective. It would take a couple of wipes before the windscreen was properly wet and the wipers could clear off whatever had been smeared over the glass by the first wipes. So maybe there was a blockage that was getting worse?

Can I fix it myself? I can see where the feeder tubes run into the bonnet but I couldn't pop them open.

If it's under warranty, let the dealer sort it.  :neutral:

You've paid for the warranty, let them take of it.

re spraying low.
you will find that the jet units are fixed and you can’t adjust the angle of the spray.  ask for a new set of nozzles when you take it in re pump.
