    does anyone know how to get rid of a possible airblock in the rear windscreen washer of a VW Sharan? ive tried poking the airhole but it doesnt work. You can hear the motor noise from the left side of the car as though its trying to come through but nothing comes out, and yes it has water in it. The car has been sitting around for nearly 2 years.
    Any ideas let me know please.

    Hi,

    I may have the same problem. My rear screen wash has also stopped working.
    I discovered it while going through a pre-MOT check (MOT due on Friday).

    I have isolated my problem to a blockage in the pipe between the pump and the tailgate of the car.
    The pump works OK and the last section, through the middle of the wiper blade mount is free.

    I tried pumping air in either end of the pipe with a tyre inflation pump (not high pressure) but it is blocked solid somewhere in the middle.
    I can't see the route of the pipework, it either has to go in the frame above the doors or through the sills below the doors.
    Before I start ripping out the roof lining to look can anyone advise on: -

    1. The route of the pipework - high or low
    2. Has anyone had, and managed to clear, a similar blockage (hopefully without dismantling the car)

    Regards
    David K
