As thread title....

When I use the rear washer, the jet moves partially side-to-side as the wiper arm, er wipes.

Anyone else had this, any tips for when I have a look at it ?

Be careful, mine started doing that (on a Leon) then the next thing was the rear washer leaked all over the door lock.

I think it's the tube inside the rear wash wipe corroding then getting stuck inside the wiper spindle.

Had that happen on my LC, got the garage to look at it when it went it for it's 40k servier. They've replaced the wiper motor under warranty.

Was good for keeping the bumper clean / spraying pedestrians but cr4p for spraying water on the rear screen

Aww bugger, not what I wanted to hear.
Wasn't long since I struggled with getting the boot trim off and breaking some of the clips in the process....was hoping not to remove it again !

You bucky lastards get at least one extra day as the 25th is a Sunday, right? Here, if a bank holiday is on a weekend, it's gone.
