My screenwash jets have stopped working!

They stopped a couple of weeks ago, came back with low pressure but made an eggy type smell when used (that might be lack of use in lockdown I guess) and then returned to normal.

Yesterday they have stopped completely.

When you pull the stork to do fronts it makes the noise of the pump, and when pushed the rear works fine.

I've filled up the screenwash so it's completely full.

Any idea what's wrong or how to fix?

Thanks

I would unplug the hose from the jets and disconnected it at some T-joint down the line (before the main hose to the tank) and try to blow air trough with my mouth, to clean out the clog :)

Just lift the hood and find the plastic pipes towards the jets. It should be quite easy just pulling them off.

I managed to fix it.

There was a connector on the left which had disconnected. I reconnected it and and it's sorted.
