This morning noticed that we are only getting an intermittent dribble out of the washer jets on the wifes XC90.

Tried hot water in the bottle and checked the jets, but there is no water getting through the pipes. I'm assuming that there is a filter at the tank fed or similar

does anyone know the easiest way to check /get to the pump? I had a quick look but it appears buried frown

Fixed! Easy job too, lay under the front bumper near the drivers side front wheel and you can see the bottom of the water tank and pump just in front of the wheel arch cover. Prise the pump off the tank with a flat blade screw driver. There is a push in rubber filter between the pump and water.
Pull this out, jump out of the way of cascading water, clean gunk off the filter, refit, refill water tank and hey presto - working jets!
