HI I have a 56 sline q7 which is fantastic but for one little problem, the rear squirter does not work. Nozzles are clear and when the pump is operated water pours from the front wheel arch.

After investigation (wheel arch out) the bottle and pump look all ok but the pipes dissapear through the inner wheel arch panel and I cannot for the life of me find access.

The grill in front of the windscreen gives a tiny amount of access but the pipe run is a foot beneath and cannot see them let alone fix it.

Can any one assist?? :1zhelp:

Same thing happened to my 06 about a year ago. Local dealer looked at it and couldn't find the split. They told me the pipe is running along the same path as part of the electrical loom, and mine is split somewhere around the bulkhead, leading to a water leak near the driver's footwell! Only solution for me was to stop using the rear wash, which is not what you would want to accept from a £40k+car...
