Default UK: Front washer weird problem

Hi all, I have a strange problem happening with my front windscreen washer, when I turn the washer on I get no water but the rear wiper activates? This can go on for a day or two and then the washer works for a few days and I’m getting water like normal, I’ve changed the pump and heated front washer jets but it’s still doing it. Appreciate any help, it could be the stalk but looks like a massive job!

Hi Simon.
Im having a similar issue.

The headlight washers are working but nothing from the front and rear windscreens.
Have you had any luck?

hi, no it’s still doing it, have you tried changing the washer pump, I got one on line for £15 and it’s an easy change, it’s behind the front left wheel. That wasn’t my problem but could be yours

Default Windscreen washer problem

Thank you for the reply Simon.
I swapped the hoses around on the pump and still nothing coming from the windshield.
Im thinking it might be a blockage in the hose,
