does anyone know the best method to get at the washer bottle to reconnect the pipe for the rear washer, mines fallen off, and i can hear the water being pumped out ?

Yes, and so would you if you used the search!

Remove front passenger side wheel and then the wheel arch liner. Sounds a big job, but it's only a few torx screws.

Can you see where the water is leaking from, eg from the rear of the engine compartment? My car's washer pipe became disconnected at the bulkhead connector but it wasn't possible to see that that was the problem just by looking. You need to move the rubber pipe to confirm that it has become disconnected. Disregard my post if you know that the problem is at the washer bottle...

thanks for the replies..very sorry for skipping the search option, must try harder

Mine has just come off at both bulk head and wheel as mentioned. I found you could do it with the wheel left on and just turned as far right as possible.

You don't need to even need to search, there is sticky tread above that explains it. You mentioned that you can still hear the motor running, so this post of ap0gee's may help. http://briskoda.net/fabia-i/rear-washer-jet-issues-help/102244/#post1189096

My screen wash system had come adrift in three places. At the bottom of the res, engine bulkhead and inside the tailgate trim at the motor.

Took it to Simpsons at Colne, they put it back together, sorted that rubber grommet in the engine bulkhead which I'd given up trying to get back in (sausage fingers) and filled the system back up. Then they washed the car all free of charge.

That feedback is worth posting in the Review section.
