Guess what problem cropped up this morning??!  Bloody rear washer hose breaking and leaking on the boot door sensor so the computer thinks it's open all the time so I can't activate the alarm!  Hi ho, off the the dealership i go...

[Nimrod]

p.s. anyone else who has had this problem...do they just try and replace the hose with one exactly the same type or should I be insisting on a better, more robust type when I march in there today?

one of the comon mk4 probs im afraid!!!, along with window regulators and that strange come and go hinge creek on the drivers door!!, depend wether its just popped off or the attatchment is split?, id say it was cause your washer was frozen up then when u aplied it the pressue cause nozzle frozen popped it off spraying water/screen wash in your boot lid
at least u got dealer to get it sorted! did it me self but it is easy enough to repair

[Nimrod]

yeah, the only good thing out of all of this is that as it's a company car, I don't have to pay a penny to get it sorted.  Dealer said the could squeeze me in today, which is good cos I don't much like having to deactivate my alarm!

not had the problem of the rear washers leaking yet - but that hinge creek is fecking strange

[S11EPS]

That is bizarre, I never new the intermittent squeaky hinge was a common fault, I thought I was the only one!

I'm lucky in as much that I haven't had the rear was/wipe fault yet, but judging byy the noise the drivers window make when going down in one touch mode, I reckon it won't be long before I'm afflicated with that problem!

make sure u get metal window regulator clips when u replace em s11eps as the plastic ones will break again in the future, i think vw uk are now supplying metal ones!!! must get mine done as ruined my day last year when me window fell in!!!!
