Do you use the VW or AG wash? Cheap products can easily cause this, also if you let the levels go right to the bottom then all the gunk that lives in the bottom of the reservoir gets pumped up and into the pipes

lift the bonnet, disconnect the tube, grab a bike pump and blow them through  :happy2:

so many people do! they even wash their cars with the stuff! all those hard chemicals and salts degreasing the protective wax off your paint for that squeaky clean look....leaving it nice and exposed and easier to get dirty
