Hi All,

I tried to rotate the lever for a fw mins to see if the water would would make it's way to the rear window but it never happened, i noticed a stream of water coming from the passenger side front wing so wondering could something be loose which is stopping the water flowing to the rear window?

Regards,

BP.

Remove your bumper, then remove the headlight, and you will see a little straight through union that connects the pump hose to a body hose that goes to the rear. I bet its popped off.

There's two of them, one for front, one for rear. They're marked black and green, and just need to go to the right place. There's no hose clamps to hold the hoses on, they just sit by themselves.

It did happen on my wife's car, hose was disconnected, because the line froze during and the pressure disconnected it. Easy fixed.

Don't fancy taking the bumper off so will get a garage to do it, anyone know if rear washer is an MOT failure?

Pretty certain it's not a failure in the UK, just front wipers/washers.

its sooooo easy to take off.. all you need is just a medium flathead screw driver and a philips no 2.

First time I took it off, it took me 10 min, and I NEVER tried it before. Only tried some 15 year old car before, and it was totally different back then.

This one is really really easy, no trouble at all. Comes off easy, and pops back on again easy. Headlights stay on the vehicle.

So the washer was replaced. Now the water runs instantly, before it took 5-6sec.
