I have been going over this in my mind and can remember that on my Accent I had this issue and it was due to a filter type thing clogging where the washer lines left the bottle.  Again you had to get to the bottle via the inner wheel arch and clear it but after the first time I got quite proficient at just pulling the liner away and groping about to remove the "filter" and clean it up.  I think I had to do it 3 - 4 times in a 3 year period.

Cheers chaps.

I could easily just leave it to the dealer to sort out in December but you know what? The thought of them completely refilling an empty washer bottle from empty leaves a sour taste in my mouth - considering what they charge for simply topping it up at a service  :evil:

Now.............at my service on Friday I wonder how much they will charge to top up my topped up washer bottle?

Be interesting to see if they put it on the invoice.  I'll certainly be challenging them on this if they try to ££££ me.

They will claim they had to check the washer pumps, wiper blades, suitability of cleanser and overall operation.

That's almost a verbatim quote from my last service

When you take it in soon for the work to be done - Get it fixed under warranty.

The reason I say this, is if you cause additional problems or damage any bit and pieces when checking it out, then HY UK will refuse to honour any warranty claim on the unit or other bits and pieces.

Let them have a look at it because if is not the motor then I can see you having all the bits out strewn across the front room  :lol:
