VW Golf MK4 rear sreen jetwasher - Mart
Morning all

I finally got round to having a go at sorting my rear jet leakage on my Mk4 Golf yesterday.

The water was coming out into the rear headlining when trying to wash the rear screen. I managed to reconnect the washer pipe under the headlining (what fun that was). Feeling pretty chuffed with myself I then tried the rear washer but still no luck!
I traced the problem to the rear wiper motor area. After another 30 mins and more fun! I thought the pipe would have disconnected from the jet nozzle, but it hasnt.

There just seems to be a poor seal between the nozzle and the long thin metal tube that goes through the wiper motor. I've just been onto VW who tell me the small connection pip isnt sold alone! I would have to buy the whole wiper motor at 70 odd quid +VAT!!!

Has anyone got any tips or ideas that might help! Or where else I could find a cheaper part.

cheers M
