Hi Guys,

I have the same problem as VmW mentioned in the first post...... water leaking from rear wiper on aggressive driving "S" sometimes on "D" and when doing U-turns.
I parked my car for two days and did not use the wipers front and rear for a week, so it is not the problem i guess.

i took an appointment with the Service this Saturday, just can't wait to go there and check what will be the solution....

You'd think they would have put a simple one way valve in the line to stop this happening

GTI2010, I've already gone to the workshop and had little success..  I was told it had something to do with the lines which, according to them should not contain any water when the washer is not being used.  The water, I was told should remain in the reservoir.  They fiddled with it but.. still dribbling..

It would be interesting to see if they can sort out yours.

I noticed that you are in Abu Dhabi.. nice to see another one from the UAE.. :smiley:

To stop the washer dribbling, "the one way valve" as you put it, would be pushed closed by the flow, surely this would stop water coming out of the washer when you wanted to use it wouldn't it? Unless by one way valve you mean a spring loaded valve which is held closed but can be pushed open by a small pressure from the washer pump - that would work.  :smiley:

You know i noticed something that this week i did not have any water leak, this morning i started my car and i used to front wipers when i put reverse to go out of the parking the rear wiper started automatically (which is an intellegent option). so i gave it and sprayed the rear wiper, it dropped little water after that and stopped.... i drove to dubai and back to abu dhabi and i had nothing dripping...

is it because the car was still new so that pipes r still not used, anyways tomorrow i will go and check at the agency....

yes VmW am from Abu Dhabi :) i bought the car on March 20.... and it is my first time in my life i own a GOLF...and it really ROCKS :)
I used to have a BMW 330 for 5 yrs until I had my rear chasies broken without having an accident  :evil: very strange i know maybe the heat in UAE causes alot of unexpected damages.....

GTI2010, the washer leaks do come and go.  After the car had gone to the workshop, I did not notice any dribbling at all (but then it was raining at the time.. :laugh:).  It only started again lately.  Please post your dealer's findings after your visit to the workshop.

This is also my first Golf and find it very impressive.. :cool:

Do post pics of your GTI.
