Weak windscreen washers...
All,
My windscreen washer pressure has suddenly become very weak. No leaks from the pipes at the screen (push fit has popped off in the past) and no leaks I can see anywhere else. I descaled all the nozzles not long ago so they're OK. Any ideas? Is the pump on its way out? Easy to replace? Thanks, Zip

Is there any one way valves on the system? I know Saabs suffer from faulty valves which cause low pressure at the jets

I am also having this problem but I've had it before and I replaced the pump when I needn't have. Last time I noticed the little mesh filter under the pump had been clogged up with algae type stuff.
I suspect that's what's happened again but I'll update once I've had a look. It's a wheel off, arch liner off job.

Mine is D3 but I can't imagine them being too different.
