C3 Washer Fluid Warning

Hi, I have a 2006 Citroen C3 diesel with only 21881 km. It's throwing a 'washer fluid low' warning, even though the reservoir is full, and the windshield washer system doesn't work. The error memory stores an error related to the washer system. Could it be a faulty sensor, or something else?

Good morning! I had a similar problem with my C3. The exact same symptoms.

Thanks! I haven't checked the spray jets yet. Are they easy to access and clean? Would that trigger a low fluid warning?

Indeed. In my case, the problem was clogged jets and a faulty level sensor. A local workshop diagnosed and fixed it; there wasn't enough water. I'd recommend the same. The error message persisted until they cleared it via the computer.

Thanks a lot! I took it to a workshop, and you were spot on. It was a faulty sensor, combined with low washer fluid. The error message persisted until they cleared it. They topped up the fluid and replaced the sensor. The repair cost 25€. All sorted now!
