Windshield fluid not coming out

Hello, i have a problem with my windshield fluid not coming out, rear or front.
What i know and i have checked:

- pump/motor is working, i can hear it
- the fluid is not frozen and it is filled to max level (winter mix)
- i "cleaned" the nozzles with the needle
- it was all working just a few days a go
- no matter how much i try to spray it on shield, nothing is coming out, and also it is not leaking anywhere since a container with water is still completely full.

What else could i check, or what could it be, thanks a lot.

My car: Audi A4 Avant B6 2003 1.9 tdi 96kw awx

Only other thing I can suggest is to traced the plastic tubing itself from the pump to the exit. If disconnected / failed, it could leak somewhere that doesn't get to the ground simply based on the volume of fluid you are pumping.

If the fluid in your tank is not going down even after you tried to use them, the problem might be with your pump. I would disconnect the line from the windshield washer pump (it is the one on the passenger side of the tank) and check if there is water coming out.
