Title: Leaky water jet pipe
Post by: cocka on 28 November 2005, 17:27

Dudes, can anybody tell me where the back window water jet pipes run as my mate has an s regmk4 18t and it is filling up his boot.Hes got water coming down past where the autochanger would be mounted.
Any ideas?

pretty sure it doesnt run past the autochanger, it goes into the tailgate and behind the back panel, common problem for the pipe to come off and p!ss water everywhere. does he have a sunroof ? i think the sunroof drains take that route.

Topher, does the washer pipe run from the engine to the back via the head lining?

thinking about it now i really cant remember which route it takes, its been a while since i had the trim stripped out in mine. cocka tell your mate to unclip the back panel on the inside of the tailgate and see if the pipe has popped off the mechanism. there are repair kits available but i just bodged mine back on.

Toph. sussed it mate, the washer pipe does run through the headlining on the passenger side,if you pull the facia panel off between the parcel shelf and the roof linning, you can see the pipe, there is a connector there and it blows apart, probably, cause his pipe was frozen by the windscreen wiper, so the pressure built up and blew apart by here. could be something to watch out for in the future.
