Washer jets for front screen operate rear screen
- Thread starter Pumba
- Start date
I think this is fairly common fault.
I found this front/rear washing problem and immediately thought someone had put the pipes on the pump the wrong way round.
Replaced the pump and all was well, so my guess it's not the stalk or pipes but just the pump, aftermarket about £7, may as well replace both pumps whilst you're at it.

I put a similar thread up the other day. Mine does the same but what I wanted to know is how the switching is done via the rubber cylinder.
On mine you press for front and front squirts, press for rear and front squirts. The pump is one common pump for both outlets (with the 2 outlets on the pump) and switches between the two via a floating rubber cylinder that switches the flow by blocking off the unwanted path. I still don't get how it does this though, I mean how does the cylinder know which way to go there's something else acting in the actuation side surely.

Make sure you have the right pump before taking things off, see the links in this post (or have you bought a 2nd hand one?) It's just that price sounds too cheap for the correct pump which is what happened to me.
I went to euro car parts and got one for £5, got home and it was the wrong pump. They couldn't actually match it up to the sport pump. I went to a different motor factors and the chap there had come accross the part no. problem before, think he said the 172 uses the same washer system as the newer clios. Anyway, ended up costing me about £18 with trade discount.
Anyone buying one make sure it looks like this one before you take the wipers and scuttle off...

The one euro car parts have down to fit is this one..

Old thread I know but for anyone looking for a fix...,, I was sure the rear wash was blocked on my 182.... Pump was running for front and rear wash but no fluid pumping to rear window. Took the pump out, pulled the two inlets/outlets out of the pump body, split the black and white halves took out the sliding part. Cut about 1mm of rubber off one end of the slider sanded it flat put it back together and I've got a rear wash again. Thanks for the info.
