Windscreen Washer Polo GTI 65

So I have a POLO GTI on a 65 plate.

a few weeks back my light came on for no windscreen washer fluid and I was going on a long drive so didn't want that annoying beep/flash that happens. So I just added a litre of water as had no washer fluid. Come the cold weather and its froze and silly me kept trying to use it. I have since topped up with unconcentrated -27 degree washer fluid and a bit of warm water. So hopefully there is good amount of fluid in there and its now 7c so ice will have melted. No fluid is coming out of the back front or headlight washers. Will this be a fuse or moter blown ?

could very well be a broken fuse or worst case scenario a broken motor... hard to say.

Any idea what fuse itis? I had a look on this site:

The fuse it says for the washers it say's is also the Rear window wiper motor but the wiper is moving fine. So not sure if it will be that one.

Cheers, was gonna say it didn't seem to match up before. Looked pulled the 7.5 fuse like it said and like I thought it has blown. So hopefully the motor is fine. Will pop to get one on lunch at lunch thanks again mate.

Same happened with my 6C R-Line today, replaced the fuse and all is good!
