UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi all, I have had a polo 6n2 for 2 1/2 years now, in the past 2/3 weeks I have had a very wet rear passager footwell. Today I was cleaning the car out and the footwell is still very wet, when you press down on it you are left with a bluish foam on your fingers so im wondering if there could be a problem with by screenwash tube to the back of the car. I have checked under the car and can not seen any holes.


I would be very greatful for any help.

Thanks

Sounds like the washer pipe has popped. its located behind the left parcel shelf support towards where the seat latches into place

These often pop off. To fix, you need to remove the trim and expose the pipe, pop the pipe back on and put a cable tie either side of the join to stop the pipe coming off again.

Hi, Thanks for the fast reply, today I removed the back seats and the carpet and found the foam under the carpet was soked right through, and also up the side of the seat, between the seat and the trim.

So tomorro I will have a go at fixing it.


Thanks once again.

I forgeot to say that the back washer jet is working fine, so could it still be washer pipe ?

Then no it's not. You got a sunroof?

I have no sun roof, and the car is a 3 door.

What I dont understand is now it turns into a white wet foam when you press down on it, and it is a really sweet smelling like screenwash.

As my pm check the pipe anyway

I have left everything out of the car any how, so i will check that morro.

If that is ok any other ideas on what it could be ?

Spent most of the day on the car, the washer pipe looked as it was about to pop, so joined that back together and used 3 cable ties to fix. The back trim beside where the back passenger sits was green on the back because of the wet so have cleaned that and now letting that dry.

Just waiting for all the carpets to dry now which are drying ok, the main problem how is the foam from under the carpet its very wet I have taken it out the car to try and dry.

Anyone have any ideas on how to dry it or can you get hold of them easily to buy a new one.

airing cupboard is your best bet for a few days

Thanks Alex I will give that a go, as soon as that is dry I can get the car right and then I can do the rest of the things I want to.

Starting with the Grill

All sorted now, A big thanks to Alex

No problems
