The rear washer on my Golf iv has stopped squirting,the front one works fine and i can hear the pump running when tryimg to get the rear one washing. Any suggestions for the most probable causes. Many thanks.

Hi

I don't know if you have managed to have your problem sorted yet, but a problem that was on the earlier mk4 golf was that the hose used to detach itself from the washer jet at the rear wiper motor at the tailgate. This is where i would begin to look. You could try to spray the rear washer and then see if any water drips out from behind the tailgate trim panel.

regards

James
