If its the same setup as Xantias, it uses a single motor, and its a matter of simple spinning the motor one way for front wash, and the other way for rear wash...

Sorry,

What I was trying to explain was what type of system it uses.. It could be a single motor.. Id more incline to blame the motor and not the stalk..

I was trying to explain how the motor operates if its a single motor setup..

Could be a fault starting with the comms2000 unit perhaps?

It's a single pump on the picasso & changing it will most likely cure the fault.
A 51 plate probably wont have Com2000 anyway.

My previous C5 had 3 pumps and needed a fourth. All of them had exactly this fault.

It started after the cap on the water tank vanished I believe, so I assume something was getting into the tank and damaging the pumps.

I totaly understand the problem, It's still most likely a faulty pump. It's a fairly common problem.

Jack it up, turn the wheel full lock & just undo the wheelarch liner & pull back at the front. You dont need to fully remove it.
