Rear Washer Squirts With Front

[AdyCupraR]

Has anyone else had the rear washer squirt a small amount sometimes when actuating the front washer? This has happened from new on my LCR (2004 plate). Its not a real problem apart from being very anoying

My washer was playing up the wipers would go off for no reason and rear wipe would go when front squirty went of, yesterday they wouldn't stop and got a bit pissed off and accidentally snapped the stalk off wipers work perfectly now with the use of my trusty biro but nearly drove into a house so thought i should buy a new one, £8 from Ebay so not the end of the world

yep, but only when my fluid level in washer tank was really low - very annoying it is too

after draining so can remove it for hid placement

most systems are single washer pumps now, is yours ?

single pumps spin one way say for front wash then polarity is reversed and pumps backwards for the rear but if the seal splits or wears out it will pressurise both and squirt out of both ends

 

[oldman]

will fill up at weekend and see if same issue
anybody know where pump is and can you tell if seal is knackered

 

[Fl@pper]

pump is in the bottom of the tank - test it

washers front - water out one pipe

washers rear - water out other pipe

water out both - seals boogered
