Mercedes W205 Front washer jets do not work...
Discussion
It's a 2019 C Class, the front jets do not work, but the rears do.
A quick search of Google says it is a single pump that does both front and rear outlets, which suggests the pump is fine and the jets are blocked, but disconnecting the hose from the jets and nothing comes from it. Blowing down the hose in both directions suggests no blockages either...
What am I missing?

Whats the temperature outside? They are fan style jets if that makes a difference.

A fine question I should included, when the problem first appears it was around zero, but it is 6 degrees today and no change. I can also blow through the jets.

I only ask as the Washer jets on my Merc have seemed very prone to freezing up this week, more than I'd expect. had to swtich to neat screenwash to prevent it. They are fan style jets if that makes a difference.
Turns out it was sludge. Pump goes one way for the front screen and the other for the rear, somehow the front rotation is a lot more powerful than the rear, and it was getting just enough fluid to make the rear work, of a fashion, now it is back to full health the rear is better than it was.
Judging by the colour of the sludge, it was my own fault for putting ready to use screen wash from Tesco, to improve the freezing point, on top of my usual stuff…
Lesson learned.
