there is a connection in the pipe work that can often break you might want to check it out your boot wil shortly get soggy. you need to take off the hatch lineing but seat should be able to sort this on warrentee if you still have it

I had this exact problem.

First I checked under the trim in the boot. You'll have to try and prise away the trim that surrounds the flat bit of the boot (the bottom of the window) and see if the pipe there is disconnected. It's an absolute bitch to get off, so use alot of patience and careful pulling. It's best to start from the bit that bumps up right by the wiper mechanism.

If that's ok, then check the inside of the boot. On the left as you look inside there's a panel with a light and a vent. You'll have to lower the rear seat to undo one of the screws, but the other two are easy to see. Take that panel off and see if the pipe is disconnected under there.

From my experience, I just needed to snap the pipes back into the connectors. Hopefully yours won't be too different a problem

yeah thats the same as i had but it hapened that long ago i cant actually remember how i fixed it. mine was caused by trying to squirt jets in the hight of winter when they were frozen over and therfore popping the pipes apart

I had the same issue after having the car 2 years andit turned out to be a faulty motor. It was replaced under warranty.
