![]() ![]() The impurities can then be collected by the rainwater running off, which then gets caught in the nozzles and gradually clogs them. In older vehicles, drivers could easily clean the nozzles themselves by inserting a fine needle into the holes without any effort. However, modern cars are equipped with so-called “fan nozzles” or “micro-emitters” which produce a wider and finer spray jet. With each pumping process, a larger area is wetted with washer fluid, at the same time, however, the finer nozzles tend to clog faster.ĭiagnosis: Before you decide on replacing the nozzles, you must rule out any problem with the washer pump or the hoses. ![]() The easiest way to check if the pump is working is by doing a noise test. Switch on the vehicle and turn down the driver’s door window. Now, stand outside and switch on the windshield washer. You should hear the whirring of the pump. If there is no sound, then it means the pump has failed or there is no power to the pump. If you do hear the whirring sound coming from the front of your 3008, the pump is working and the culprit is most probably clogged nozzles. Important: Before replacing the nozzles, make sure the fluid is being pumped normally. Pull the end of the hose out of a windshield washer nozzle on your 3008, and then turn on the washer system. If there is little or no flow of fluid from the disconnected hose, it means the nozzles are probably good but the problem lies somewhere else. The pump of the windscreen washer system on Peugeot 3008 needs electricity to work. ![]() In case of a faulty fuse, the circuit is interrupted and the pump can not work. You should hear the whirring of the pump.While standing outside your 3008, switch on the windshield washer.Turn on your vehicle and open the driver’s door or roll down the window.You can do a quick diagnosis by performing a noise test. If there is no sound, then it means the pump is not working in your 3008. If you do not hear whirring sound of the pump when you turn on the windshield washer system on your Peugeot 3008, you should first check the fuse for the pump. If the fuse is not blown, check if the pump is getting any power. This can be done by removing the electrical connector from the pump and connecting it to a multimeter. The multimeter should read around 12 volts when you switch on the windshield washer, which indicates that the pump has failed in your 3008 and needs to be replaced. If the multimeter reads very low or zero volts, it indicates a fault in the wiring or electrical connection – all electrical connectors and wires that feed power to the pump should be inspected for damage. If the pump is working, but windscreen washer still does not work, Peugeot 3008 owners should check the hoses. If they are cracked, loose or leaking, they must be replaced. An exchange is also recommended if the elasticity of the rubber hose at the connection point to the nozzle decreases. However, the hoses can also have easily fallen off due to vibrations in the engine compartment. Note: Keep the air-conditioning off in your vehicle when diagnosing a leaking hose, as condensation from the evaporator coil is also drained under the vehicle. In rare cases, a dirty or pinched hose can be responsible for windscreen washer system malfunction on Peugeot 3008. To diagnose, first open the hood and pull the end of the hose out of a windshield washer nozzle, and then turn on the washer system. You should see the fluid gushing out of the hose. ![]() If there is little or no flow, and the pump is working, then there is probably a blockage in the hose somewhere. Inspect entire hose and clear any blockage. Note: If you see washer fluid gushing out of the detached hose when you switch on the windshield washer in your 3008, but the fluid doesn’t flow when the nozzle is connected, it means the nozzles are clogged. In winter, frozen washer fluid can also prevent the windscreen washer system from working in Peugeot 3008. ![]()
