About Screen Washer

What is the screen washer/what does it do?

Windscreen washers are a simple but effective way of cleaning the windscreen enabling the driver to have a clear view front and rear. They are compulsory on any car with a fixed (i.e. non-opening) windscreen. A windscreen washer motor drives a pump which forces water from a reservoir through a series of tubes leading to the washer jets which squirt water onto the screen. This water combined with the wiper blades action effectively washes and cleans the windscreen.

Getting into the details of the screen washer

The screen washer reservoir is usually found in the front engine compartment. It is most commonly a moulded plastic bottle which will serve both front and rear screens. The motor and pump sit with the bottle and are activated by the driver with a lever on the steering column. The washer jets, usually two per screen, are situated externally and below the screen. These can be angled by the driver to maximise efficient washing of the screen.

Although clean water will effectively clean the screen there are many brands of screen wash available which, when added to the screen wash reservoir, will aid the cleaning process.

What if something goes wrong with the screen washer?

Common faults are failure of the motor/pump (water does not leave the reservoir), leaks in the plastic tubing that connects the reservoir to the washer jets, or the jets themselves being blocked and therefore unable to squirt water onto the windscreen.

Renault Clio trivia

  • 2002 was the year that the Clio saw its highest sales figure. That year alone saw 86,337 Clios bought in the UK.
  • The Clio Williams (also known as the Renault Clio I) came with a 2-litre petrol engine and was intended to outclass alternative makes of the ‘hot hatch’ style like the Peugeot 205 GTI.
  • Before the Clio, Renault had always struggled in the UK car market. The release of the Clio changed all that, partly because the Twingo wasn’t made available in Britain.
  • The Renault Clio is responsible for one of the most famous car adverts in the world. The Papa and Nicole adverts became iconic, and the actress who played Nicole was once voted more recognisable than Bob Hoskins, tv-presenter Chris Evans, and the then PM, John Major. The finale of the advert run featured Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer!
  • French footballer Thierry Henry was the face of Renault for two different Clios. The sports star was brought in for the ‘va va voom’ campaign to try and help market the Clio to men. A shift in buying demographics did happen, and the car became a lot more popular among male drivers.
