    Maybe the pump filter in the tank is a bit clogged with gunge. Vectra always seem prone to this.

    I'd like to know this too - some of the VW's I have driven had really good jets - the water would come out in a 'fan' and cover the entire screen, not a silly little squirt like the vectra!

    as per prev posts, take the tank off & clean everything inc the filter, had to do this a few times on my vec B....if they look ok goto a petrol station & blow air up the tubes!
