well the rear washer jet seems to have stopped working on the mondeo.

I investigated the cause and it turns out that the water in the rear seems to be collecting in the boot rather than washing the screen.

Now would you expect this to be covered under warranty on a 16month old car?

Ford seem to say no, I think its a design flaw.

Anyone else had a similar issue?

Sounds like the water tube in the tailgate has disconnected from the nozzle.

From what I remember the nozzle pulls out - suprised the dealer wasn't prepared to pull it off and take a look for you.

When I had a Mondeo the rear nozzle (all plastic, non adjustable) didn't spray properly so the dealer just replaced it.

Just remember not to push rear washer on a frosty day 'cos it will pop off again.

This was a problem on the early Mondeo estates when the passengers in the back seat received a dowsing; the kids thought it was hilarious. I'd have thought Ford would have got it sorted by now!
