Rear washer jet following wiper arm?!
« on: 04 March 2010, 18:49 »
Noticed on way home the rear washer jet started following the wiper arm!  Not noticed it do that before!   :sick:  Done some digging and guess this will be my next job:

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
