rear washer
 

i have a 94 850 t5 estate and the rear washer doesn't work, can't get any water coming out !! i have checked the pipe that comes out of the water bottle and nothing comes out upon using the rear wash/wipe. the motor makes a noise. the bottle seems very hard to get to. how do i get to the water bottle to check the connections, or is there anything else i can check ?? thanks for any help.

Somewhere in the rear well is a T connector that connects the washer reservoir to the rear jet - it will have become detached and be filling your boot well up with water.

It's a common problem with estates - see the many threads in this forum.

I had this one, as Simon says, in the right hand rear well there is a joint, push this back together and all will be well.

As above but could just need cleaning out.
