Found relevant part number: 8L0 998 711 (An Audi repair kit available for about £30)
Will be fitting the washer hose back on with some bad-ass cable ties too.

This also means I get to experience the man-task that is removing the tailgate trim. Brilliant
-
Be careful as there are TWO types of repair kit available :nerd:
Mine does this also, Im replacing the whole motor - £85 :cry:

snap! i ve got the Same problem, if i get the lock replaced and a new wiper motor (as its leaking from the motor not the pipe, motors working great just doesn’t squirt just leaks in to the boot :grin: lol) well the boot light work ?
-
.... swaying towards slapping a new motor unit on plastic fantastic! £82 from Euro.
Am I right in thinking new units have an updated pipe that doesn't corrode?
-
might have to see how much the lone mk4 up the scrappy is then, can't be doing with it leaking everywhere...

I believe so bud may as well get the part from VW for few quid difference :wink:
Ridg also got a new motor even after buying the repair kit :smiley:
-
If its what im thinking then mine does this too, its always done it i thought it was the norm! :huh:
does the water squirt vertical then go from 12 oclock to 9 oclock and back again ?
-
Dunno mate.
It's maybe been a bit down on spray pattern / pressure for a while and been meaning to prod the nozzle with a pin. Used it on the way home tonight and afters noticed the rear screen was still mucky. Fired it up again and the spray was following wiper and going all over the place, including inside of wiper cap!
Will take trim panel off tomoro after work and get a good look at it all*
*Note to self, remember to bring out the big guns :grin: :grin: :grin:

I have only removed my rear trim panel once.I didn't find it too bad. Unfortunately, sounds like one of the clips didn't go back in properly and I have an annoying rattle every time I use the boot :angry:
Think its time to put this right at the weekend. Its been a year now..... :grin:

Replaced wiper motor. Tailgate panel was a beeeeeee-atch to get off!
Retrofitted a sheet of plastic to prevent any future damage to lock etc if the thing ever leaks or the hose pops off:
(http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww140/najmeade/DSC00197.jpg)
Looks a bit ghetto, the gaffer tape was to hold it up while I put the panel back on. Cut three holes through it for the studs to fit it up under the motor and then bolted that down on top of it.
Motor on / motor off took all of 5 minutes, but I had to repair the coupling to the hose as it was brittle and cracked down the side. All good now, once I wrestled the trim back on... :grin:

Out of interest where did you get the new motor from? :smiley:
-
Euro car parts. Asked for a trade discount (cheeky), got it for £60.

Copied you after seeing your post, simple and smart fix, but it was to late for my lock solenoids’ gone on it but don’t want lock getting worse till i change the hole lot, lock and wiper motor as the water comes from the connection in to the motors housing then ill get my mk5 wiper fitted.
