Decided to do mine since I had the front end off.

Have ordered some off eBay
Just waiting to get the energy to re-do this fiddly job

[danyalmakda]

So awhile back I changed the washer fluid pump to a meyle pump and all was fine apart from the grommets which I have ordered - I haven’t used the washers in the last few weeks as not driven much. Was about to change the grommets but realised only the headlight washer is working and not the screen washer
Is that because not enough fluid in? Or the pump?because the grommets are leaking there’s only enough fluid until below?
Just wanted advise before I remove everything so I can do it all at once

Thanks

1. The pump for the windscreen wipers sit lower than the headlight washer pump, so if you're getting water through them, then you should be getting it to the windscreen.

2. When I put mine all back together again, it took a while to get the water to the windscreen. I ran it for about 5 seconds each time, then waited for the wipers to stop, and then repeated the process several times. I was beginning to think that the new pump wasn't working, but it was fine.

3. If the grommets are leaking, you'd see the obvious signs of it below the car.
