Tried to change the switch today, no changes. Has been checked by two mechanics, pump is in working order, there is no blockages, tank is full. Did not pass MOT because of this, needs to be done next week. Help!

Is there no filter on pump which can get blocked ?

Under bonnet fuse box can cause problems

Take the pipe off the washer pump and see if it sprays directly out,when you press the switch if not its either the pump or a filter in the bottle

Had a problem with my washers walker this year!! Had it all checked and it was found that the wiper motor was not parking in the correct place thus causing the washers not to work. Maybe worth a try!!!. I ended up replacing the wiper motor, and all worked fine.

Thank You for your answers! We took our car to Citroen garage, felt like an idiot actually. Turns out none of mechanics previously checked the fuses under the bonnet, the faulty one was there, we ended up with fiver to fix the problem instead of expected hundreds. Thanks again!

Yes, and "paulieone" mentioned under bonnet fuses, but I thought they already had checked them (they said they checked the fuses), so I was sure they were fine. We are not going to take car to that garage anymore.
