Default Audi A6 Jet washer problem?!

hello guys,

i have got some problem with the jet washers on my audi a6 saloon. They have just stopped working. First i thought it might be because of the cold weather but have realised that they have stopped working all together. Does anyone here knows what could be the problem and how to resolve the issue? apart from replacing with the new ones.

Only a few things it can be if they all don't work:
Out of fluid, blown fuse, kink or clog in the main line before it starts to tee off to the nozzles, electrical connector, bad washer pump. That is probably about the order I would check them.
Audi likes to put the pumps where the tank is in most of their cars. So the pumps is probably in your fender by where you fill it up, attached to the tank. You'll probably have to remove the inner fender liner to get to it.

it was diagnosed a clog in the pipeline. resolved it today all by myself, glad it did not cost me anything.
Thanks for your suggestions anyway.

A piece of (hopefully) helpful advice. Adjusting the jets so they hit the right parts of the windscreen is well nigh impossible. i have found that it is easiest to unclip the whole jet assembly from the bonnet (hood) adjust them as required clip then clip the assembly back on, close the bonnet, test and repeat as necessary. The assembly unclips really easily
