helendempsey Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi On my fiesta the water jets arent working properly. When i press the button on the wiper stalk the motor runs and lets a squirt of water through, then the motor stills runs but n owater comes out, is it blocked or has the motot gone If i need to change the bottle how do i get to it as it seems to be in the wing thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi welcome to FOC Few things to check 1. You have water in the bottle 2. With a fine needle push the needle in the jets to unblock 3. check for air locks in the pipes (may be hard) You could try hot water the draw the air out of the lines. Try topping up to the top and leaving for an hour to see if their is a leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helendempsey Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi Thanks for your reply, have done all of these but still doesnt work. What can I do next, and it seems the motor is still running. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 HiThanks for your reply, have done all of these but still doesnt work. What can I do next, and it seems the motor is still running. Thanks Try and do it again making sure no water drips on the floor.. then try your pump out for a good 30 secs... see if any water comes out from below the car.. the hose may of detatched from the jet under the bonnet. check this out.. looking for water coming out under the car too.

helendempsey Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Ive tried this and this doesnt happen. Any other steps, or what do you think is wrong with them Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 ok.. are you able to get to the pipe under the bonnet? Perhaps blow down the pipe. If this fails then I would say pump is the problem for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helendempsey Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 hi I've done all this. How do i take the pump off, and do i have to take the wheel off Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Also for future reference, check the bottle, if it has any 'black skum' around the insides then remove the pump and check its filter as a piece of the afore mentioned scum has probably detatched from the side of the bottle and been sucked against the filter stopping the waterflow!
