This is strange, checked oil / water at weekend all ok, washed windows on way home last night, tried again today nothing, could hear motor but no water. Tried in car park nothing, looked under car, puddle of water. openend bonnet to discover the pipe had snapped off where it joins the bonnet.
Not very good for an 06 plate!
Will be having words with VW, wonder if thats under warranty!!!:confused:
Anyone else suffered similar daft faults?
Had my car in to VW stockport yesterday, fault fixed under warranty...wonders never cease! Had to wait a while as they fitted me in between booked services etc... but then valeted my car for keeping me waiting. Well done VW customer service lives!!
For info they replaced the pipe with a flexible tube looks more sensible for a part that flexes each time you open / close bonnet (Design flaw?)
picture of defective pipe attached.
