Been having the same problem on the tourer and this has worked for me too - so thanks, once again, Steve for this 2yr old but valuable advice.
I knew the pump was ok because the rear washers were working fine.
After peeling back the top of the soundproofing (those fixings are a pain to remove until you get the knack) I disconnected the supply tube from the 3-way connector and that was then pumping out as it should.
So I took the 3-way off completely and connected the supply tube in turn to the 2 outlets and they were flowing between each other so it was clear that it was the bit in the centre that was the problem.
Used the same Y-connector (from the Halfords box I got, again on your advice, when sorting the sun roof issue) and it's fine.
The one little concern I have is that I think the white cap on the original 3-way is a non-return valve (and was jammed), which presumably is meant to stop the washer fluid flowing back down into the reservoir (and maybe also prevents muck going down there).
