Rear washer jet

[Scotty]

Which route does the rear washer jet piping take?

Haven't looked at tracing it yet but want an idea of what to start pulling off to check for a blockage as mine doesn't seam to be working

Funny mine is not working and has not from new ( 2 weeks old )

It goes down the right hand side of the car (OS), through the interior. If you pull the trim off near the drivers feet you should see it, the pipe was see through on my car.

I've near heard of a blockage in the pipes before though, I would imagine more likely the washer motor is at fault.

Can you hear the motor running on yours Scotty i can on mine .

 

[ryan197]

i does take quite awhile for the water to quirt out, just incase you think its instant

 

[Scotty]

Yes I can hear the motor working.

Had similar problem when I had my 197, it was just trickling out. Took it back 4 times to the staelers who denied there was a problem untill I got them to compare it side by side with one on the forecourt. Turned out to be the wash pipe trapped underneath the washer bottle.:liambo:

Will have to investigate later when I get chance

Also look at front headlamp washer as that's not playing game!

you do realise they only work when the lights are on

Put it on a dry drive/surface and run the washer for quite a while.

See if you have a wet patch.

My rear packed in and the pipe had come apart under the wheel arch lining and was pouring out from there.

It was a two min fix taking the liner partly off and putting the pipe back together.

Yeah, I just have the drivers side working

That'd slow it down a bit
