Should a clogged windscreen washer pump be covered under warranty?
The windscreen washer nozzles on my wife's 2014 Ford Focus gives hardly any output. It appears to be a common problem caused by a clogged filter on the windscreen washer pump. We have been quoted £75 (one hour labour) to fix this. Should this be covered under warranty - which runs out in October?
No because the problem is caused by slime growing inside the washer reservoir as a direct result of using poor quality screenwash. I've had this before on Ford and how I cleared it was to hold a hosepipe in the bottom of the washer reservoir then get someone else to turn on the tap. That blasts all the gunge out of the top of the reservoir.
