Detached rear screen wash hose ?

Check behind your rear lights. There are some vent thimgs behind. Make sure they arent blocked or out of place. Thats what caused mine to do it.

Thanks ill have a look when it stop raining

I reckon you might have a leak.     Drill small hole in the wheel well?

Brothers washer worked on his A3

It was still leaking inside the boot lid, corroding all the wires for the back lights, alarm and boot release button though :(.

the waters dripping down through some cables into the well its still piddling down so i pushed a hole through a rubber gromit in the floor with my key to let it out as a temporary fix lol

 

Planning a service and fit a tuning box tomorrow ill have a better look then weather permiting

Thanks took the rear lights out and couldnt see anything lol go to look from underneath have i?

Is it washer fluid or rain water?

Doubt its washer fluid as theres so much of it and its squirts on the rear screen better check that too tho

at least you don't drive an old jag or following the top gear theme I would suggest looking for a loo seat on the boot lid, and if you found one I would suggest what you found was not water

 

i'll get my coat and head for bob dogs old corner now :)

In the wheel well at the rear side just on the inside of the bumper mounting panel are two flimsy fitting black grommets both about 2"dia

 

Check they are present and fitting properly as water will definitely get in through there
