rear washer

[pagey]

hi all not been on here for a while ,
but can anyone help me.
rear washer on my 99 a4 avant has stopped working ,so i took of the pipe that leads to the washer/motor.in the rear hatch and when you press the washers water shoots out .
so it must be the washer jet tried to clean it but no good .
so the question is can you buy a new washer jet or do you have to buy the motor and washer asembly complete.
any help would be great .

thanks mike

you will probably find that the pipe that runs through the spindle has corroded and blocked. unlikely to come as a seperate part but I would imagine if it is pblocked then your motor could probably be suffering from the spastic action mine does when I try to wash the rear window!!

might be able to replace the centre pipe with something generic, but I didn;t try stripping mine down
