rear washer not working

[spartacus 68]

To access washer pump strip out the passenger wheel liner. Held in place with stainless steel torx screws. However before doing that - try disconnecting water pipe at driver's side in boot (above access hatch). If water comes out here, (get someone to assist) then you know blockage is further ahead at wiper motor.

Thanks. Will try disconnecting pipe at driver's side boot first. Is it at the top of bottom of the hatch? I've got speaker and amp in there. Quick inspection could not find anything. It is hard to get fingers in there because of the speaker and plastics around it. It is Avant sport model. Don't think I've seen the same setup in SE model.

This isnt easy.I had to dry this area out when the pipe split in the loom to the top of the hatch.I would look at the pump first cos it should be coming out of the fronts

I agree, should look elsewhere first. Not sure how to get to pump tho. How about driver side footwell? Is there a connection point there too which can be easy accessed and disconnected? Dont know hot to get to motor nor how it operates the rear and front wipers. Perhaps someone can describe it here.

There s/b a connector under the passenger side if its the same as aB5 cos thats what gave up on mine.Hope thats not gone on yours cos it took days to dry that out in summer!!Never accessed a pump but it shouldnt be too hard to remove the liner.

mine is not wet anywhere. Strange that it goes on passenger side then ends up on the right side in boot. is it close to pillar running along the door ?

[mikeybutch]

The problem is that you wont see the wet until you lift the carpet .I looked there cos I could hear the water coming out from that area when the pump ran.

true, however mine is spraying on front windscreen what should be going to rear. Hence dont think it leaks anywhere

Ageed i continue to say its a pump issue

No idea how much the pump is from Audi. You could possibly get a replacement from a breaker yard. Strip out the wheel arch to refit.
