2013 FR Rear Wiper Washer not working

[dave-y]

First post as a newbie and I hoping to get some advice.
Ive got a 13 plate Ibiza FR and im not getting any fluid on the rear window wash. The pump is definitely working and at first I thought it may be a blocked nozzle. On closer inspection this may not be the fault as there is a pool of washer fluid coming from behind the rear bumper on the left side. It doesnt appear to be from inside the hatch. So has anyone got any ideas if there is a connector that may have come adrift or any other cause.

Thanks in advance

Hi welcome to the forum, this area is meant to be the place that maybe moderators place answers to frequently asked questions, if you have a problem to report you should use the correct area for your model of Ibiza.

Anyway, that is for the future, placing your threads in the correct area will also give it better exposure and you more replies.

Back to your problem, I have never ever had this problem on any of my cars Polo 9N, Ibiza 6J or Polo 6C, but it is a common problem mainly caused by the washer fluid partially freezing due to not having enough conc added into it. What happens is that the pipes get blown off at one of the joins and I think that you will find a join in the area you are seeing that water coming from, how you reach it I can't say other than via the rear side trim or the trim at the wheel arch reached from the passenger side.

Other forums, maybe the Fabia one on Briskoda.net have listed all the problem areas for these washer pipe joins.
