As alot of you have probably read I have just got my car back from the bodyshop. I was driving home tonight and headlight were dirty so pressed headlight washer button and nothing. I got home and had a closer look and there are not popping up. So pulled them up to see if they would spray still nothing. I can hear what I think is the pump. Any idea people so I can go back to the garage and go they worked when I have it you and dont know. And yes there water in the bottle as windscreen washer work. (They do run off same bottle dont they? Im sure they do just dont want to look stupid if they dont lol)

Had the same prob after having my bumper painted. i just lifted each jet a few times and like you said you can hear water being moved.

Think its just air in the system stopping them working.

problem now sorted.

I did not realice that the feed from water bottle to the headlight washers was higher then the feed for windscreen washers
