Hey guys, my wiper spray just decided to die on me one day. How do I check what is wrong with it? It just doesn't spray any water onto my windscreen anymore and I think it's something really simple but I just can't figure out what lol

First things first has the washer bottle go water in it haha Second thing is to check the water lines if they are cracked or bent which is stopping the flow. Otherwise it might be a calcium build up in which case you could use CLR which works good on house hold stuff but ive never tried to on a car as ive never needed to. So go from the top of the above list and then CLR as the final result, just add it to your water washer bottle and go nuts. i might even do it for the hell of it soon and see if i notice a better spray pattern.

Oh my god I feel like the biggest idiot ever. Owned the car for 3 months and I just realised I have to press the button for water to spray and not just pull on the stalk. I even checked the hoses to make sure there weren't any leaks and the fuses to make sure nothing burnt out!
Thanks anyways lol

Have you checked that BOTH of the wiper bottles have water in them , the button and pulling on the stalk have separate bottles , apparentley one is for soap to was the window and the other is for just water to rinse it

Where can I find the second wiper bottle? Got a picture of it anywhere because I think I only filled the soap one?

Stephen the one you've seen is probably the one in the middle of the bumper (kinda hard to miss this one)

The other bottle is on the passenger side and has an access cap next to the battery.

Stephen has a TT, so no second bottle - only V8's have them.
