Rear Washer Leak

[Paultr]

I have an 05 A4 Avant which is leaking water from the top right hand corner of the tailgate when operating the rear washer. Water still comes out of the nozzles albeit at a pathetic pressure and continues to come out for a while afterwards. Cleaned out nozzles with no improvement.
Any help would be appreciated as loathe to take it into Audi garage for what could be a simple solution.

Look behind the trim panel you will find the washer pipe has come apart at the union take it apart completly dry it off and glue it back together with some superb glue.

Thks size12. Is trim panel easy to remove?

Not a bad job if your used to removing plastic trims, they are straight forward just go slowly and dont over stress or break any of the lugs off.

I had a go last night and got the lower panels off but then ran out of light so might have another go tonight.

Thanks for your advice.

I have the same problem with Leon 05. took large bottom panel off but the problem wasn't there - was further back up towards the tailgate hinge and haven't tracked the problem down yet.

Pull the head lining down at the back it might be on that connector there.
