rear washer jet leak

[Aimez]

Can anyone point me in the direction of any threads about the rear washer jet barely working then a small amout of washer fluid appearing in the boot.
I have tried searching cos i thought there was a thread (maybe it was on that 'old' seat forum!) but no joy!

its a comon problem! Seat blame the problem on people not using there washer fluid!

Ahh the joys, sisters has come off also in her 1.2 so going to do it now

I had it happen to me twice with my old Ibiza. The first time they fixed it by reattaching the pipe and the second time I got an entirely new motor mechanism under warranty as something inside that had broken which was then leaking fluid everywhere. Good luck though.

Seems to be leaking out underneath the car from towards the front of the spare wheel well...last time it popped off in the engine bay and luckily being the 1.2 I could get my hand in to reattach it.

take boot trim off and get a mate to activate it and have a look most probably the case of just reconnecting it!

All fixed and sorted, had come off at the motor joint, so have tie-wrapped it on. Broke I dunno how many clips though :s

[rashcupra]

star you mean torx screws vw audi seat and scoda all use these screws and are very common types of screws on other makes too. if you dnt know the size its a 20 torx the most common size used on all models

I bought myself a set of Torx keys from Halfords. They didn't cost a lot and have earned their keep on several occasions. It's worth having a set lying about.
