Rear wash/wipe dribble!
« on: August 19, 2009, 09:43:34 pm »
I never use the rear washer. For some strange reason I have noticed that the rear washer has dribbled fluid down the tailgate - only a little but still happening all the same. I haven't topped the washer fluid for ages so it's not over full / expanding
Mine is a MY06 car and I had the wiper motor replaced over a year ago as many others have.
Has anyone else noticed a dribble problem and what may be causing it? I haven't even used the rear wiper for several months!

Cheers  :smiley:

Sounds like the tube could be blocked ?.Mine was fine the other day BUT every time i washed the screen it smelt horrible (i've not topped it up yet ) so i put 3 sterilising tablets in some boilling & put this in the bottle & no smell now.Could be worth a go as it might kill any alge that has formed in the tube ?.
