Moving rear washer problem

yes i have the same problem sort of ,when you wash the back window my jet only flows at about 2inch of water...

the rest pours into the boot behind seat badge/boot handle.

mine seems to be leaking in that bit of pipe or little black elbow joiner,on the bottom of motor.

i need some help too.

had this problem a while back, sounds like the copper/brass tube through middle of motor is broke. new motor is one fix £50-£60. or seem to remember there is a fixing kit available,not sure from where though,

Had this problem when car was 2 years old, had a new motor fitted under warranty, common fault not just with seat, had same problem on skoda fabia vrs.

can youlet me have the part number chap??

and any chance you can post a photo up, where yours is broke?

cheers...

Glad you got there mate! Mine is still peeing out! Would be great to see your pics ! Then I will explore a bit more into mine!! Cheers

how much did the kit cost and is it a lot of work,my copper pipe is broke?

think i need to do this also. Water at best manages to get about 2 inches up the rear window and leves the rest of it dirty.

i take it you need to remove the rear wiper blade?
Is it just a matter of remove the nut on the wiper arm?
i tried loosening it earlier and it wouldn't budge.... i'll order one of these tomorrow!

Hi Cupra

It would seem a number of us are having this problem, there are about 3 or 4 threads running on this broken brass pipe/leaking washer/boot trim issue and to be honest I think we are trousers down/wet/wind in face kinda territory - myself included!!!

I think we would really appreciate a "how to do" plus some pictures from getting the trim off to ordering the part and everything!! Having priced it up with a new trim plus motor this could stretch into £150 mark so its an expensive mistake to make.

Any help would really be of some benefit if you could find the time.

Thanks for any posts you make buddy.

Nope, you need to remove inner tailgate trim and wiper arm (13mm nut). You then need to unbolt the 3x10mm nuts inside which attach the wiper motor to the tailgate.

On the motor itself there are 6-8 Torx screws, remove these and give the back plate a tug to separate it from the gasket. Re-assemble is the reverse of this. I washed out the brass tube and poked around with a needle and also removed the jet itself to clean.

My brass tube wasn't snapped, but it was leaking during use, so I wound some PTFE tape around the outer tube, up over the top and round again, then pierced the brass tube through the PTFE tape. Re-assembled and it's been perfect for the past 2 months or so. I've left my parcel shelf and boot trim off to keep an eye on it, and it hasn't leaked since
