Thread: Rear window washer jet leaking

    Default Rear window washer jet leaking

    Hi,

    When I accelerate, quite often the rear window washer jet leaks water down the window. Getting to it for cleaning/replacement is difficult - it's mounted high in a black plastic housing between the rear spoiler and hatchback. Does anyone know how to crack open this housing, or can recommend something to blast the crap out of it? Gen 1 MPS.

    Thanks

    i have that issue too seems to be excess water in the system from when you use the washer jets.

    But i have no clue how to fix it, i usually just deal with it

    I'm assuming the jet is full of gunk or the mechanism is faulty/not closing properly - you can pick up new nozzles from Repco/Super cheap, or I could remove the jet and put in an ultrasonic cleaner - just getting to it is the problem! Will have to consult the manual, but if anyone had some tips on removing the spoiler bracket that'd help a lot.

    In my old car the little plastic non-return valve that fed the washer jets blocked up (staying blocked open) resulting in a similar issue. Might just need to pull that out and replace it.
