Washer Jets

[funkyg]

Since getting my car back from the repairer, it seems to have developed a minor fault with the windscreen washer jet.

When I spray my windscreen the passenger side is fine but the drivers side takes a few seconds before it comes out, and then it's only a trickle. A couple of seconds later and it's at full power, spraying like a geyser!

It seems like all the water has drained out of the pipe since the last use.

Now the garage did replace the wing where the washer bottle is. Could they have done anything to the pipework or does it sound more like the pump? I want to be sure before I go ranting to the garage!

Cheers!

Mike

Do you know where the valve is? Would it be near the washer bottle or the nozzle? Only problem is that the washer bottle is hiddne by the wing.
