    Default Screen wash thoughts

    Once again today, my screen wash jets have frozen solid, after 10 mins with the heated jets on, the fronts work fine, but again the rear jets are squirting water on my FRONT windscreen

    is it possible that to avoid averloading the pump, that the front jets initiate when the rears are frozen??

    they work 100% perfect when there not frozen

    did VX make this a standard feature or have i dropped lucky?

    When my rear washer is frozen (and my fronts work) nothing happens when the rear is activated, ie the fronts don't work my error, default or design - or for any other reason you can think of, they simply do nothing.

    To paraphrase you, when the rear one is frozen, the fronts work when the rear is activated? The way it is worded sounds like the rear jet somehow sprays the front window??

    That would be a neat trick.

    Sounds like something not quite right with the pump / pipe / thingy.

    Yeah the front jets squirt when the rear jets should, but only ever when frozen, soon as the rear thaws out, its back to normal
