Rear washer pipe

Hi

Washer motor seems to be working (noisy) fine, but nothing coming out rear pipes. I've disconnected the joint at the tailgate so I know it's not the actual jet. I've tried pulling the 6 inches of pipe out to find the one way valve but it's very tight. I risk pulling the valve out and losing the pipe in the roof space.

I was hoping to get round the one way valve and blast some air through.

Any tips/advice/thoughts?

Investigating further - it's definitely the main length of tube that runs from back of van to front. This seems very difficult to replace so how do I clean it?

I attached a bike pump to the the front end to try to blast some debris to through but nothing. Feels completely blocked.

As I recall it runs up the "A" then behind the plastic all down the length of the van best to refer to the diagrams https://www.lushprojects.com/bongoparts ... mgno=.html

We've attached an airline ho the pipe under the bonnet and blasted air through before. But if yours won't blast then maybe its kinked somewhere?
Sometimes a motor will make a noise, but still not pump, because the impeller has failed and isnt spinning.

Thanks Geoff.

I took that panel off and found a very crushed pipe. Pinched it open and the watched the water flow! Very happy. Simple fix.

Now back to my PITA electric roof.
