Rear window jet

[Harvey]

Not had the problem myself maybe cause I always garage it, however I wonder if during the winter at least it would be a good idea to make sure that the screen wash is very concentrated.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll top up my screen wash to a higher concentration.... can't stand all the fuss this would cause and it's just out of warrenty!!!!

I have put a small jubilee clip around the pipe on mine. It appears to have worked, well for the moment anyway. I have also switched back to 'Genuine' Screenwash and so far thats not frozen however it gets as cold as they say tonite, it maybe different tomorrow.

not happy got the rear jet fixed in january and its started again noticed water splashes up the window think i will try and fix it myself with a jubilee clip. They told me that then had put on some new bit to keep it on yeah right

 

[aaronbromley]

Yep, also had mine fixed in January, now needs doing again, also the boot lock has knackered (before the problem with the washer came back to haunt). Taking it back to Lincoln soon. The mechanic there seems really good though.

mines popped off as well.

How hard can it be to design a pipe that stays on or at least design an opening in the panel so you can fix it yourself

 

[deezal]

How can you tell its leaking ? Does the washer stop working altogether ? I had this on my mk2 but only found out by the pool of water in the spare wheel recess.

in my case little water came out the washer and when i opened the boot there was water round the lock

 

[aaronbromley]

Yeah that was the same with me the first time, this time no water is coming out what-so-ever, also the boot lock is broken anyway so i cant open the boot to see if any water is coming from there. Very annoying, need to ring SEAT in the morning as i went early saturday (was booked in), but they had the wrong part, so now need to book it in again.

turned out the pipe in the boot was OK will post up pictures tomorrow. The pipe that goes up inside the quarter panel had came apart there was water everywhere and all down the carpet along with a puddle .But its all sorted now took pictures could try and make it into a guide to show where the screws are if anyone wants .If something is broke better to fix it your self then you know its done right i hope

No rear wash!!

Mine also isn't working and having tried to use it the leaking water has caused the "boot open" light to come on the dash which in turn is triggering my alarm.
It is out of warranty by 9 months and the local dealer will charge £43+VAT for the repair. He said to try SEAT direct to see if it could be done under goodwill but SEAT said nooooo, they've never heard of the fault. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Pull the other one!
Poor customer service there.
Angry but no surprised.

I see its that time of year again

 

[TDIPower]

Mine isnt working either, it never has! Thought the pump was gone and was going to wait till the next service. Having read this I better check the carpets, I held the washer on for a good 2 mins at least thinking it might clear the blockage!

A guide would be great as ours has just stopped last night.

Especially since i just read this post

they will no longer fix this under warrenty as incorrect washer fluid is used.....apparently!!!

[sooty22]

Thanks
Just put it back together, what a stupid design the water 90 degree plug on the end of the pipe is onto the motor, this had come off on the motor end. Stupid design and cable ties will not really grip it due to the hard plastic the plug is. If it comes off again im going to glue it.
Stupid design.

Even if it was in the guides, everyone would still ask! It appears not many people look in there, especially for part numbers

If owt, PM Muddyboots about sticking a link in the FAQs, its his site so he deserves the credit!
