Rear wash wipe

[Andy]

i have a prob with my rear wash wipe. ive hecked its all connected, and it is now.

but


when i go to use it the water comes out of the frony washer jets!

how can this be sorted as visibility becomes crap very quickly and there is no way of doing anything without cleaning the car everyday or two, which isnt practical for me!

thanks

Andy

smae prob - i have taken the back fascia from the boot, and exposed the unit - all connected ok, but nofluids!

blockage? how does one fix that?

Could be the pump.

 

[Andy]

would this explain the rear wwash function opperating the front?

confusing me slightly!

Aye, there is 1 pump with a valve in it. A friends ford did the same. I changed the pump but got the hoses round the wrong way at first which was quite funny

 

[Andy]

does sound quite entertaining!

how much does a new pump cost? and how much work to replace?

thanks so far

Fiat? Over £20.

In theory the pump just pulls out of the washer bottle... in theory.

i will have a look, thanks.

in theory sounds fun, will have to have a look later, see how much fun this could prove to be.

Cheers Andy
