hi

i have a 1999 plate ford ka, its going in for its MOT on wednesday 4th nov. just one problem i know of that i need fixing.... my windscreen washer pumps are not working correctly. i have tried...

flushing out pipes
unblocking nozzles at both front and rear
draining away the tank for slime etc

now... to the rear there is nothing happening at all, the two front washers will work ever so slightly sometimes just a little trickle. i can hear my pump working, well the noise anyway!

Any suggestions to what might be wrong or what i can try doing!!!!

Many thanks!!

hello and welcome to the site
i had a similar problem on my 2000 mondeo, when your parked up use your washers, then see if you can see any water dripping down under the car, if it's under the washer bottle it maybe the non-return valve blocked, when i had this trouble i replaced the non-return valves fitted in a short piece of pipe fitted between the water pump and the small flexi pipe, its a bit of a burger on a mondy to do, dont know about the fiesta, good luck
