Hi All,

Had the issue of the rear wiper not working for a few months now despite the motor working.

Boot connection fine, passenger footwell connection fine, connection from water bottle is also fine... however I have a drip when I press rear wiper at passenger wheel arch.

My question is where exactly is the connection near the wheel arch that could be causing this please and is it easy to get to?

Weirdly I still do get one tiny spittle of water at the rear washer when I press it but its only a micro amount.

Thank you very much for your guidance in advance

I can't see/don't know where these connections are.
I would take out the wheel arch liner and follow the tube from the pump. Would guess a split hose/leaking joint or someone's put a wheel arch liner screw threw the hose?

Number 7 pump 1K6955651 is for cars with rear wash wipe.

Just a thought but have a feel of your footwells for damp/wet.
There is a connector in the pipe going to the rear washer ( i think it is above the glove box )
it has a habit of splitting and allowing water to soak the footwell.

The fix is a new straight connector
fitting that new straight connector is a royal PITA

That's what I thought at first but he does state that the passenger footwell connection is fine, probably worth a second look though.
