C5 front windscreen squirters

Hi!
Once again, i'm bothering all of you[:P]
My C5 is mad again.
Now, everytime i pull the windscreen handle for the squirters, the wiper blades give the usual 3 passes, but it's the rear squirter that works! The rear is functioning correctly when told to, though[:S]
Can i fix this, or do i have to wait a week to schedule at the stealer, as usual?
Is it just me, or does everyone begin to see their cars going wacko when the warranty aproaches the end? (in my case, july)
Cheers fellas!

more than likely a faulty washer pump.

But i hear the 2 pumps working! Or at least the sound pitch of the pump is different from front to rear .
Too bad i had forgotten to tell this when the C5 went to the stealer last week...[:(]

it will be a single pump that operates both front and rear washers, the motor still spins but the little shuttle valve will be stuck in one position.
