Glad im not alone...... bloody expensive in screen wash this time of year!

Then you have a months or two where you're ok then it changes from salt to bloody flies which are even worse to get off!!

Update, been to look for the disconeccted pipe, and i am glad to say it just popped off under the ecu unit, gave the rear washer a squirt so it left bubbles in the engine bay and found the pipe so no wheel removal or bumper etc!

i have also taped up the rear one to stop it disconnecting in the boot, so if it goes again it will just pop in the engine bay which is easier to pop back in rather that stripping the boot down..


time to wash this sodding grit off! Black magic looks lovley when clean but salt on black aint a good combination!

I had a problem where no screen wash was coming out of the back wiper.

When I took the plastic trim out the boot, the hose had popped of from the wiper motor, but when I connected it back, it was leaking out the motor unit into the boot.

Had to buy a new wiper motor which fixed the problem. Don't know what caused it, but it happened after all this freezing cold weather we've had recently, so maybe it froze, expanded, and bust, but who knows.

There is a tiny nozel that slides into the wiper spindle to direct the water onto the screen, so if anybody has low pressure problems, you could perhap try replacing that, part no. 3b9955985a.
