Peugeot 3008 Washer Fluid Issue

Hi, I've got a 2017 Peugeot 3008 hybrid with about 137k km on the clock. Recently, I've been getting a 'Washer fluid low' warning, even after topping it up. Now, the windshield washer system doesn't work at all. I've checked for obvious leaks and topped up the fluid again, but the error persists, and there's definitely nothing coming out when I try to use the washers. I've also scanned the car and there's an error stored related to the washer system. Any ideas?

I had something similar happen in my 3008. I was pulling my hair out! Does the pump even make a noise when you try to use the washers? I'm wondering if it's the washer motor itself. Have you checked the spray jets aren't blocked with limescale or anything?

Thanks for the quick response! No, I don't hear the pump at all when I try to use the washers, just silence. I haven't checked the jets themselves yet, I'll take a look, but the complete silence from the pump makes me think it's something more significant. Is the washer motor easy to access on these?

Right, no noise from the pump is a bad sign. I wouldn't bother with the jets just yet, you're right to suspect the pump. Honestly, it could be a pain to get to, depending on how Peugeot designed it that year. I ended up taking mine to a local workshop; they sorted it quickly enough. Probably best to get it checked out by a pro!

Okay, cheers for confirming my suspicions. I'll book it in with a local garage then. It's just frustrating when these little things go wrong! I got it sorted in a garage for 25€. Apparently the wiper water level was too low which damaged the pump.
