My front washer pipe has a 3 cm broken section at the top of the engine compartment on the right hand side. It looks a bit chewed. The pump works and rear washer works ok. The tubes in the hood/bonnet look ok and fluid ends up on the ground when I try to use the washer.

How do I find out the route of the tube so I can fit in a replacement section and what is the best and cheapest way to effect the replacement?

All help would be really appreciated.

Regards,
kdb

Is it the rubber hose that is broken or a hard plastic? Can you upload a pic for me to see?

You should be able to just replace the hose. For some reason, the picture will not enlarge when I select it, so it is hard for me to tell exactly what I am looking at.
