The estate washer pumps are sensitive to the screenwash used. I think people advise putting a hosepipe down the filler tube and giving it a good blast.
Have you checked the fuses? Can you hear the pump working?
If you top up the screenwash does it leak out of the tank?

Currently driving a 2004 C5 VTR (old shape) and an Electric Kia Soul. Sorry but the electric one is my favourite!

If the problem is on the front jets: I had the same problem and I used a portable compressor to clear them. First I disconnected the pipe at the joint on the underside of the bonnet and blew compressed air through each of the two sides. Then I blew air through the actual jets themselves using the small airbed attachment for the compressor. It took a couple of tries at this. They seem fine now and have been working OK for some months.
