rear wiper has less water than africa

[red6n2]

hi,

basically i am trying to get my mrs rear wiper to start working again, the problem is the water isnt reaching it, with the 6n2 when this problem happens its normally the connection under the rear seat on the passenger side of the car but i checked there and its all connected is there another connection port on this car that i am missing ?, ive had the boot trim all off and i know the problem isnt there either.

thanks in advance,

Well, firstly, does the pump run - ie can you hear it when you activate the rear washer? After that, if it is pumping water and its not coming out the rear hatch spray - where is it coming out of? If its ending up on the ground near the front of the car then its probably a pipe popped off round about the ABS module area, if its running out of the rear hatch and/or into the boot (look under the spare wheel), then it might have popped off or broken off the motor back plate.

Ah, just reread your posting, so you know its not coming out from the rear hatch!

Off topic, but does anyone know where I can buy a good quality rear wiper for the Polo GTI (9N3).

Bosch or any other recommendations?

I had the same problem.. then all of a sudden there was nothing coming out of the pump at all.

Eventually had a tinker about on my 9n and the water pipe runs along the boot (behind the passenger side rear light unit) you have to take some trim off which is easy peasy but it runs along with the wiring (stupid i know) and the connection had came apart resulting in a 3 inch puddle down below the light unit in the actual bodywork and half the boot soaked.



just give Ebay a shot buddy, it's good for wiper arms and blade combos, usually working out way cheaper than Halfords etc and i've had no problems with mine.
