Default Windshield washer hose system!

Stupid audi using plastic hosing! found nemerous cracks in the hosing, so decided to replace the whole system with rubber silicon hosing. Found the right size at the auto store and brought a whole lenth, hooked it up and i don't know why but when i connect everything up no water comes out but if i take the hose off the sparyer jet it sprays so much water, and the right angled and t piece audi use for the sprayer jets all broke, are those all required to make the system work?..
thanks

the windshield washer pump is fine, but could it be its not pushing enough water to get through the jets? or is the palstic hose only allowed to be used to make it work?
funny how the little things **** you off the most
