I have a Hyundai i30, 2017, 1.4 litre petrol.
Windscreen washers stopped working, motor runs so pretty sure it's a blockage. Put a hose in the reservoir and plenty of muck washed out, but it didn't cure it.
It's probably a blockage in the pump or filter, but the tank has to come out to remove the pump from it.
Tried to remove the tank, removed wheel and wheel arch liner. Removed 2 M6 bolts but can't get the tank out. It appears to pivot about something that I can't see.
Sometimes these things have a lug on the far side with a rubber grommet to go over a peg, but if so I don't know whether to pull it straight out, or up, or what. I've hoisted and levered it as much as I dare without breaking something but no joy.

I have a workshop manual which I downloaded a while back, but the pictures don't look like mine. For what it's worth, it's attached. It shows 2 bolts spaced horizontally, but on the car they’re vertical. I've been trying to find the correct manual online but no success.

I'll have another go at it tomorrow and take some pics.

If anybody has the right manual, or any suggestions that would be great!

Can you take the hoses off the back of the jets , and see if water comes out from there when you run it?
