But I can't find the bugger ! Anyone know where the sod is hidden ? ffa01 Dec 7, 2003, 20:57 stick a pin in the water holes on the bonnet first dave! solves 90% of wiper probs :) salsa Dec 7, 2003, 21:22 Also check that the tube underneath the washer is still firmly attached. Could the water inside be frozen? have you put screenwash in it which has a percentage of antifreeze? flyerdan Dec 7, 2003, 21:50 The pump likely resides on the bottom of the plastic reservoir tank, you can always trace the hose back from the cowling nozzles. Sammy is correct, it probably is an obstruction in the line, seeing as how the pump still runs. If cleaning the nozzles doesn't cure it (a welding tip cleaner works well for this) try blowing compressed air backwards through each nozzle, and hold a thumb over the other nozzle while doing so to avoid getting a faceful. dave brown Dec 9, 2003, 07:33 I've tried sticking a pin in my little holes........it's not them. I get the impresion that the pump is behind the offside wing.......................stupid french pillocks have hiden it ! hugo-a-gogo Dec 9, 2003, 09:56 blowing compressed air bubbles into your blood stream, through your thumb, isn't good however, so don't salsa Dec 10, 2003, 10:33 dave brown spouted: I've tried sticking a pin in my little holes........it's not them.

Other than that the AA have the contract for assisting new Renault vehicles now, so if you call them and get someone nice they might assist you, or tell you who to ring. dave brown Dec 12, 2003, 12:53 I'm gonna call into Ranault at the weekend fireboy Dec 12, 2003, 13:50 Renault clio driver with the same problem, the pump sounds as if it is in about 6 different places in side the car dave brown Dec 12, 2003, 18:13 Called in tonight as I was passing, The pump IS hidden behing the wing, So I've got to take the wheel off and remove the inner wheel arch cover to get to the twat.
