hello
I hope someone might be able to help. I have a 2008 Sportback 2.0 tdi. A few months ago the washer bottle was leaking like a sieve. It appeared to only happen when i had used the rear wash, when i pulled the nozzle free there was pressure in the system, which led me to believe this nozzle might be blocked. I cleaned it and if I didn't use rear wash it didn't leak. This has now started again. i have stripped the f/os wheel arch to check the bottle - it seems to leak around the bottom seal where the pump plugs in. Does anyone know if this seal is likely to need replacing or if it is likely to be blocked elsewhere causing another build in pressure?
