Screen washers

Gents

WE have a 2012 SLK with only 25k on the clock, the screen washers wont squirt out water, there is water/fluid in the tank, I can hear the pump whirl but alas no water. I have cleared the ends of the tubes with a pin just in case but I dont think a blockage would affect both wipers. Has anyone seen this problem before or know the cause?

Cheers

Have you mixed different brands together? BMW screenwash when mixed with Prestone coagulates into a gel and can block the tubes and pipes, I know from experience.

Might have done, to screen wash is screen wash, its liquid in the container, I will try and milk the tubes and see if I can get anything moving
