I had this last winter - it took the rear pipe much longer to de-frost than the front.

I ended up running a much stronger mix of screenwash to stop it happening again.

Hi, you guyz no doubt know of the connections already, but there's 3 of them..

1 below the airbox (which as mentioned can be re-attached with a jubilee clip), there's 1 behind the o/s/r seatbelt (parcel shelf support needs moved (removed) for access, and the most commonly known weak point is at the motor (remove tailgate trim) 5 screws to remove..

my rearmost ones been a pain (lately) so for the winter i've removed the trim panel!!, we're not alone though, polo's and fabia's have the same grief..
