How can I fix my windscreen wash, Renault Scenic 1.6 expression Y Reg?

Hi there,
I am having problems with my windscreen wash. Twice it has been to the garage and I was told it was an air lock. If I press the button for the water to come out on the front windscreen, the water comes out at the back window. It also works correctly when I want the water to come out at the back.
I'm sure it must be something quite simple, even if it is an airlock. But how do I get it to work, without having to take it to the garage every time I run out of water?

sounds like you need a new washer pump 2 outlet model
available from renault dealers or cheaper on e bay and fit it yourself

It could well be the valve in the bottom of the pump that directs the water flow is seized in one position. On most cars it's not replaceable separately, only with the washer pump.
