rear wash

Hello,
I just got an A6 avant....the rear wash doesnt work When you press the switch, you car hear the pump going but nothing comes out at the other end! I took the nozzle out but its not blocked. Is there a filter somewhere that could be blocked? Or any places that tend to leak?
Thanks,
Dave.

Thanks a8 tech, I'll give it a blow 2mrw.

Had the same problem with my avant but it was obvious where the leak was, in that the tailgate water leaked out of the bottom of it. hose ahd popped off at the connection behind the arm.
