mate if its not working on the rear there are lots of links on here as this is a normal golf 4 problem and yes only one water bottle.

Thanks mate,  I searched and saw loads of posts on blocked pipes, replacing jets etc etc, but nothing I saw stood out and told me if there was a seperate bottle for the rear.

Believe me, I'm scared to post on this forum without searching old posts first !!!   :lipsrsealed: :sad:

Thanks

Oi - i'll have you for slander  :angry: :laugh: :laugh:

Don't be afraid to post but we do ask to have a little search for your answer before doing so  :smiley:

Equally though this post is a question that hasn't been asked before  :smiley:

And piss-taking is mandatory  :grin: :kiss:

I was exagerating a little about being scared to post,  certainly nothing wrong with a bit of banter  :wink:

anyhow, I only picked the car up friday night and havent really had 5 minutes for a proper look around yet, I just noticed the rear wash wasnt squirting and when I popped in a garage to top up couldnt see a bottle anywhere, hence why I've asked.   I owned one of these about 5 years ago, but couldnt remember if it was seperate!!

I havent noticed any water or dampness in the boot but will have a look behind trims etc as soon as I get chance.

Thanks
Wilson

If it has popped off in the headliner, look behind the n/s trim (where the cubby hole is) in the boot. There tends to be an area where a little reservoir builds up if its been leaking. Will need to take out the carpet, but it isn't a massive headache.
