Rear screen wash

v_forty · Jan 29th, 2023, 16:31

Hello all

On my V40 the rear screen wash has just stopped working. Front is fine.

On pressing the side button on the stalk, the rear wiper goes several times as it should. I can hear the pump, although it sounds noisier than usual.

There is screen wash in the bottle (and it's not frozen!). I can't see any leaking from any of the pipework in the engine bay, but unsure exactly how that runs to the back of the car. Spare wheel well is dry.

Anyone had anything like this before?

Mine is same, pull pipe off the nozzle and see if any fluid comes out, if it does then the nozzle needs cleaning or replacing.
