Just noticed the rear wiper is not working on the Superb Estate (2014)

Is this likely to be a fuse or is motor knackered? Squirter works but when you push the stalk forwards wiper doesnt move.

Also with the auto tailgate how easy are these to fit if it is a motor required?

Cheers

also got a problem with my rear wiper, mine is manual tailgate so likely not related.

have read that the auto boot struts can be costly to repair/replace

bought a replacement wiper motor unit and after a bit of faff, got it changed over. However, this has not rectified the problem and the rear wiper still does not work when you push the control stalk forwards. Also, there is only a wee dribble from the water jet which is the same as before. still waiting on the handbooks to arrive but did manage to find an online version so I checked for a blown fuse and this seemed to be ok. Could it be the control stalk faulty or is there something really obvious that I`m missing?

Might be worth checking the loom where it goes between the roof and tailgate at the hinge area?

The wiring will have flexed here many times as the tailgate has opened and closed over the years .

ok, so I found a break in the loom and now have a working rear wiper, but no squirty.. found a split in the squirty tube in same place as wire and the only thing I could think of to join the two pieces together was a section of a pen refill that was a snug fit. done this and still no squirty so topped up washer bottle in case it was low but still no squirty. tried removing the nozzle jet and still nothing comes out. Would the fact that i used a pen refill (smaller diameter) be affecting the ability to push the flow through or am I likely to have another split somewhere? No idea wher the pipe runs after coming down the left rear quarter..
