w/screen washer jets stopped working, '57 CLK Cabrio

[AbbieCadabra]

my 6 month old Merc' has a little problem, how dare it!

washer bottle full & the headlamp washers work ok but nothing happening with the windscreen jets.

any ideas guys? or is it another trip to the dealer...

Does the pump run when you ask it to wash the screen?

Could just be blocked, I'd be inclined just to take it to the dealer i mean at the end of the day if you have warranty let them waste time on it and not your's

i tried it earlier & can't say i noticed the motor running, think i'll just pop down to the dealers. well, it does need a wash anyway!

**whoosh** straight over my head goes that one!




just thought i'd try one more time this morning before ringing Merc, worked fine straight away!

very odd, but never mind...who cares when the sun is shining & i can take my top off!

It was a cunning play on 1957 and the new designation reg numbers Eg LK57 REK

Wow, didnt know Mercedes did voice activated screen washers

Bit pedantic isn't it?

Especially since it's a standard feature

open the bonnet and check the pipe that goes into the bonnet is not kinked. I have seen it so many times.
