Rear screen wipe and wash

[pdrisc]

Evening

 

My superb rear window washer is not spraying. The wiper is working but there is no fluid coming out. 

 

Its been in my hands for less than 2 weeks so I will contact Skoda in Swansea to resolve it but just in case its not something stupid i thought i would start here. 

 

Anything to look out for?

Is your profile correct - Mk2/2008?

 

Anyway it probably the jet that’s clogged. I think there’s a few threads about that on here.

Probably the jet is blocked, but watch for water seeping from rear door this will indicate pipe has come off.

I had the same problem last week and it really pi$$ed me off.

After reading one post about removing the boot lid liner to check for a split pipe - which I foolishly did and there wasn't, the simplest was to pop the jet nozzle off using a flat screwdriver (it's a click fitting) then try the washer jet. If you get a vertical jet of water then you know the jets are blocked.

I used a bit of wire wool to remove any rust deposits and it now works as it should do.

 

It might not be the same issue as mine, but worth a try 👍👍

Oops need to update that. I replaced the 58 with a 67 L&K 2 weeks ago. 

 

Thanks for that.

Cheers for this. I had a look today and there was fluid bubbling at the jets so will have a closer look tomorrow again. i did notice some rust water residual on the paintwork from when i used the washer. Sounds like thats my problem.

 

Cheers

 @booshakker thanks for that advice.

 

Lifted the nozzel off and cleaned it with a pin. Then knocked out all the crud and debris that was in there as well. Result is 2 clean jets now.

 

Simple fix in the end.

Glad it worked. At least you didn't need to remove the boot lid liner like I did 🤦
