Windscreen Washers
Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2015 11:12 am
Alright Chaps,
Yesterday I noticed the windscreen washer wasn't working on the front on way to work. Thought nothing of it until the drive home afterwards and still no luck. I let the car warm up in case it was the cold weather but no luck.
I've since tried the rear washer and not doesn't work either! One thing I've also noticed is that I can no longer hear the motor spinning round when I try to use them so I think the motor must be dead, and nothing is frozen.
Question is, I've got a 63 plate so it's still in warranty. Will warranty fix this? I don't want to ring VW and for them to ask me to take a look then charge me, as if it's not under wearranty a local garage will most likely be cheaper!
Bit strange this has 'broke' as I've had older cars in the past without this problem. If it helps, my driver door electric window was stuck in the down position the other day when driving, switch wouldn't allow it to come up. When i exited the car though, keeping hold of the lock button worked and shut it. Ever since it's worked fine... strange! This was the same day as the washer not working aswell.
