Rear washer jet following wiper arm?!

[Mr_Orange]

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

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 

Think its time to put this right at the weekend. Its been a year now.....

Mine does this, it can stay as an added feature for that price

Mine has leaked though and ruined my tailgate micro switch and catch so no boot light. Also while im in there i want to replace the boot handle as is has the classic corrosion starting.

Price that lot up  

I did so I'm modifying my boot permanently to eliminate the problem 

[Dave_IOW]

might have to see how much the lone mk4 up the scrappy is then, can't be doing with it leaking everywhere...

Is the bonnet any good on this mate? What colour??

"Fits all mk4 golfs"

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:


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...

Out of interest where did you get the new motor from? 

[Mr_Orange]

Euro car parts.  Asked for a trade discount (cheeky), got it for £60.
