What do you do with the washer jet? clamp it?

Pull the pipe off the pump at the front of the car behind the left hand grill and block it off. that way it ensures no leaks in the car if accidentally pressed

Just use your side mirrors nearly all the vans on the road just use side mirrors. I reckon i have used my rear wipe once.


....I hope your joking! Haven't you noticed how big and also multi-faceted van mirrors are?

Yes, it looks cool from the outside but don't you put safety considerations first?


There are thousands of small vans with just normal mirrors i have one and i have never had any safety issues, honestly you could block out my rear window and i would hardly notice. I would only look threw it as i blow you away and give you a little wave.  :driver:  :wink:

Hey Joe,

I have taken mine off...really easy, I first used a bung but thought that this looked  :sick:  so I then got a glass insert from venom motorsport...this looked way better.

Also a tip if you do it this way then use duck tape to hold it in place.

or you can just code out the wash/wipe on the rear with vag com, id be happy to do that for you joe. ive not tested it but if the option is there, i cant see it not working

Is there a specific fuse for the rear washer/wiper that could be pulled ?

i think the wash wipe on the front and back shares the same fuse, could be wrong though

There is a way to deactivate the rear wiper completely using vagcom, my dealer did it by accident when I had my cruise control fitted
