rear wiper on b6 avant,, not working!

[Leaky Lloyd]

hiya lads,,my rear wiper doesnt seem to be working,, checked all the fuzes and they're ok!
just wondering if its a common fault????
cheers,big ears!!!!!

Probably the washer pipe has split where it hinges and the fluid has got into the motor.

 

[Leaky Lloyd]

this a common problem then?

I've certainly seen it posted a few times on here yes.

Ive done 4 in work ,
i done one just the other day on a B7 on an 06 plate so they still have not sorted it
with mine i never use the wash , i just wipe the window when its wet,
works for me .

 

[Leaky Lloyd]

is it expensive to put right mate?

 

[paul20v]

The last one i stripped and cleaned up , but the one before had knackered the circuit board and im sure it was over £150 to replace
i would pull it and have a look first its easy enough todo .

I think I might just leave my washer jet broken then as if I fix it then it might ruin my circuit board!

Cheers mate for the idea

Mine had the pipe off near the motor, so had water inside the rear panel, so just check for any wet area's. Had to strip the back panel off to get to it, then pretty straight forward from there apart from the water had wrecked the contact pins, so had to re-route/ make new.

take the whole motor out and remove the washer blade! looks loads better then!
