Washer Problem AGAIN

**craig-k** · 20th May 2009, 20:21

Hi
About 3 months ago i had a problem with my washers.
They werent "squirting" water i could here the pump running but no water coming out of jets.
I took to my local Vaux as i still had warranty. They told me that the filter in the pump was blocked.
Now i have exactly the same problem. Just wondering if any one else has had this problem.
And is there a How 2 on it...

Thankz Folks

Try steradent in the water bottle. There are threads on here discussing this.

the filter is at the bottom of the bottle and is also the seal for the pump,when you pull the pump out you will see a black rubber thing left in the hole,that is the filter/seal

i had this problem and traced it back to the one way valves that are located on the elbows that are attached to the pump , inside you will see a spring and a little ball in there, i prised the spring out and the ball then reatched them and put new one way valves in further up the pipe, got the parts from halford for a few pound and has worked like new since , if the filter is clean like mine then check the elbows mate, just need to take inner arch off to get to the water bottle and pump
