A4 Avant rear wash/ wipe fluid?

[dan_b]

Just a quick and slightly stupid question - but is there a separate resevoir to fill for the rear washer fluid on the A4 Avant? Or, does it take from the main resevoir for the front windscreen/headlamps?

If there is a separate tank for the back, where is it?!

Its all from the one tank at the front.

Thought so - washer jet must be blocked then or something in that case - refilled main tank, but still nothing coming out of the back...

Try blasting some air through it if you have access to an airline, alwas found that the easiest way to sort it.

Sounds like it's happened to you on more than one occasion then?!

had same problem with mine last week, i was thinking the same, but i removed the black cover on the wiper and the jets just fall off- tried the car like this and you get a nice water fountain out the back of the car- left the jets in hot soapy water over night and job done- keep forgeting to put it back on though!
