Avantime Washer Fluid Warning and Pump Failure

My 2003 Avantime diesel (210768 km) keeps showing "Washer fluid low" even when full, and the washers don't work at all. Could it be a stored error causing this?

I had something similar with my Avantime. Check the pump. Even with enough fluid, a bad pump can cause that error and disable the system. Do you hear anything when you try to use the washers?

Thanks! I didn't think of the pump. I don't hear anything when I activate the windshield washer. How did you fix it?

No sound isn't good, probably an electrical fault. I'm no expert, but the shop replaced a faulty sensor and the pump. Cost me around 25€, parts and labor included.

Thanks! I'll take it to a local shop. Sounds like it'll be the same issue, probably a bad windshield washer pump. I'll post the outcome!
