When I accelerate hard from standstill, me rear windscreen washer err...dribbles down the rear screen :embarasse

Anyone know or have a schematic of what valve I need to replace?

Cheers!

Check you havent got any leaks first, it could be air is getting drawn in as you roar off, allowing the washer fluid out. Because the outlet (washer jet) is higher than the reservoir it shouldnt leak out. If i remember correctly, it runs along the floor on the drivers side then up into the roof in the rearmost corner at the back. I dont remember seeing any one way valves, it could be the pump motor is allowing fluid to pass through it, rather than acting as a stop valve.

on my gdi it did the same thing going up hills (no such thing as acceleration in that car), on my vr4 the rear washer is completely blocked and it doesn't work at all.
