Peugeot 308 Washer Fluid Warning

I'm having a weird issue with my 2023 Peugeot 308 Hybrid. I keep getting a 'Washer fluid low' warning, even though the reservoir is full. The windshield washer doesn't work at all. The error memory has an error related to the system. I thought it was just low, but it's still happening after refilling. Could it be a sensor or something electrical?

I have a 308 too, and experienced something similar. The warning light and non-functional washer were identical. Is the pump making any noise at all? It might be a blockage, or worse, a faulty pump motor.

Thanks! The pump isn't making any noise when I try to use the washer. If it's a blockage, can I fix it myself, or should I take it to a shop? Also, could a bad pump motor cause the 'Washer fluid low' warning, even if there's enough fluid?

Based on my experience and the lack of noise from the pump, it sounds like a dead pump. While you could try to access it yourself, given it's a relatively new car, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. They can diagnose it properly and replace the pump if needed. It's likely the error code is a consequence of the pump failure; the system probably detects the lack of current draw.

Thanks for the help! I took it to a local workshop, and it was the windshield washer pump, like you said. The replacement cost 25€, including labor. It's working now, and the error message is gone. Your advice was really helpful.
