Any one know the routing of the rear window water jet piping, as mine has stopped working plus its pump?

Hi , I had a similar problem when I got mine, firstly the fuse was blown, but even then it wouldn't work.

The washer bottle is at the front, with two pumps on it, the lower being the rear pump. (get someone to operate the front washers, and whatever ones making the noise, its the other one!)
There was some info on the forum, in my case I split open the pump, and found that the impeller was broken.

I got an equivalent pump from Halfords and that sorted it, I had to cut off the connector block and put female spade terminals on, and it has worked fine after this, except that I keep forgetting that its fixed at last!

The pipe is routed up the passenger side A pillar and through the roof to the rear tail-gate.

Hope you sort out your problem with this, sorry i cant help but i do have a problem, well i think it might be a problem.....

basically, when its raining hard, we all put our wipers on fast dont we.....well my question is, does the rear wiper automatically come on at intermitent times pre-set by some sort of relay. Becasue mine does but it doesnt seem to come on evenly, more random than anything. is this normal?

Nope, unless someone has retrofitted an intermittent wipe add on, but if it's a bit random, doesn't sound right. Check all connections especially where the wires go through between the door & body, may be a break in the wire or dodgy earth?
