Question Windscreen washers not working properly

Bentley Continental GT 2004
Problem :windscreen washers hardly put any fluid on screen

Tried so far;
filler washer fluid tank
separated fluid hose flushed out and cleaned jets - all clear
tried the wahsers again while disconnected, can hear pump working, but very little fluid coming out of the hose

Looks like the problem might be dirt in the tank or the motor? Can's see these in the engine bay looks like they are underneath?

Any idea how to go about fixing this please? All suggestions welcoome

Phil

Had the same problem, see my post elsewhere on the blog.

Turned out to be one of the several tubes having junk in it. They're not easily visible like they would be in most cars.

One question, is the washing fluid also weak or non existent on the headlights? There are several tubes at play.

The replacement tube on mine cost $140 from the dealer and an hour or more (so they say) of labor.
