This is my first winter using my Fiesta,

The Windscreen washer bottle has screen wash in the bottle(topped up today with hot water incase), The pump works. But my screen wash isn't spraying. The temp is 4c so i can't really see why they wouldn't spray.... The rear works fine.

Surely the cold weather hasn't caused freezing as they worked yesterday, being 8c.

I waited 30 mins to see if the hot water had done anything, temp is now 6c and still no change.

any ideas if theres problems with these, the car is just coming upto 11 months old and has done 5600 mies.

Blocked jets or a pipe come off? Is it under warranty?

RSmark84

Ive checked to see if the pipe has come of by looking under the car, all fine. Bottle still full.

I haven't checked blocked pipes or jets due to weather and because i've never touched the screen bottle until today. I did however wash the car yesterday and they sprayed fine. Strange that something would stop working without driving it.

Warranty lasts for 1 year so if its not doing as it should when i drive the car next i'll be booking it in at the local dealership for fix/inspection.

Fixed the problem, the jets spray when the bonnet is open, but dont when its closed.

I took a torch out and worked my way back from the jets and found the pipe is pinched between the bonnet and the front wing as the pipe goes into the innerwing.

Pulled it out and left it hanging.....These new cars aren't designed aswell as the cars from years ago.
