Front washers leaking - offside wheelarch

[joolsvern]

Just used the guide to fix the rear washer (something Seat Doncaster failed to do properly but did offer to have it back in) but while testing the fronts and back found that while using the front washers I have screen wash leaking out of the front wheel arch (just like the rear did before the fix).

Just wondering if anyone knows

1) how easy it is to remove AND replace the wheelarch cover

2) if indeed the front washer pipe joint (I presume) is located in there somewhere and fairly accessible

Thanks

Just on the rear fix, I could barely get my fingers in to hold the female connector, eventually managed to use angled long nose pliers to hold the pipe and push the male connector in with my hand which took some pressure.

I got skinned knuckles doing my rear pipe when it popped off

let us know how the arch liner goes as I want to look into fitting the low washer fluid sensor to mine later this year.

Are they both still working? (front and rear) If so could it not be just what has been washed off the screen?

mmmmm, starting to feel stupid now.

Hopefully that is it as front ones seem to be working fine, realised there was a problem with the rear as it was a very weak spray which came like water even though it was a very concentrated winter mix.

I started to take the wheel arch liner off a couple of weeks ago to get to my xenon headlight washer pump, and quickly found it wasn't gonna help. It's probably 10-12 screws, but I think its just water draining away from using the fronts mate.

Didn't mean to make you stupid. It was just a thought.

I am stupid, just don't always feel it
