You've got a smelly wiper?

 

[LEO2]

No, The air con smells not the wiper, just wanted to know where i could by a wiper. Killing 2 birds with one stone!!!

Get a Skoda Fabia rear wiper mate. Local dealer. Do a search on here for some pics. If you can't find post on here and I'll take one of mine which I've just fitted. It's a tiny bit smaller than standard but not enough to matter and looks about a billion times better. Apparently it also wipes a lot better as well, bonus!

What's up with the standard rear wiper?

Its poo.

It doesn't work very well and looks like it was made in the welding class at my local Adult Education Centre.

Fabia wiper works better and looks much better (and doesn't smell)

hey .... ma rear water sprayer is not working ... i hear the voice of an empty water container ... the same voice i heared when the front rear sprayer is empty .. bt the front is working well and the rear is not flushing water ... wts this pplm??? its a long time ago ..

Could be the pipes come apart somewhere. I've had it in the left of the boot near where the seatbelt reel is and also in the boot lid.
1st is easy to do 2nd is a biatch - really a dealer job. Get someone to operate the washer when you are at the boot and you should hear it.

u mean its empty from water?????? and u mean the rear container is differ from the front wiper container ???? and where is is exactly ... in the boot???? where is this seat belt reel??? inside the car or in the boot .. i cant get anything :$

No the front and rear washer jets work off the same container which is in the engine bay (or at least they do on the LCR). The water is piped around the N/S of the car.

It is common for the joints in the pipe work to come apart - usually in cold weather when the pipes freeze and the pressure blows the joints apart.

The two common areas for the joints to fail are in the boot on the left hand side near where the seat belt reel lives and also inside the boot lid trim.
