1.4TD Estate Rear Screen washer

Featured Replies

Hi. I recently acquired a 2004 Fabia Estate 1.4TD. When I operate the rear wiper and push the operating lever forward you can hear the pump for the washer operating but there is no wash at the wiper. The wiper arm has none of the jet fitments. I actually bought a jet and an arm but I now fing there is no facility to fit as the spindle is solid. Does this mean my model is not equipped with a rear washer or has wrong motor been fitted.I am unaware of the pipes are in place until I can look behind the tailgate panel but will leave well alone if it was not fitted with a washer from new. Can any body advise me on this please?

The rear screenwash on the estate comes out of the high-level brake light fitting.  May well be disconnected at the firewall below ECU though, probably the most common place for frost expansion to pop it apart. Just pushes back together, but access may be tricky.

Pete Thank you so much for that. I have just had a look and sure enough the jet is exactly where you said it was. Weather was very frosty when I got the car so will investigate where you have said if jet is not just blocked - I don't get luck like that though. Very grateful as I was getting very puzzled.
