I have an a3 three door My rear washers are not working. There is water in the bottle and the motor is working as it feeds water to the front screen. Is there an easy fault finding way to find the fault

 

I have the same problem, did you get any replies or sorted the problem out.
Thanks to share

 

I had same problem. Take the panel off in your boot on opposite side to washer jet. On mine the hose had came off and the water was going all over my boot lock which corroded and I needed new one as my alarm kept going off cause the car kept thinking it was open. Hope it helps

 

my wiper also is very close to the bottom body frame and touches to the paint which damages, how can i get it fixed any ideas?

not really sure what you mean but if its what i think you mean then theres a 13 mill bolt that holds the wiper blade on the motor. 1st take the round plastic clipp off then take the bolt off and lay you wiper blade flat against window so its facing left (passenger side if you live in uk) tighting bolt up and give that a try.

 

abo and maxsinc, have tried to clear the jet at the wiper? Try soaking it in vinegar and using a fine pin. Hard water can plug these nozzles up

 

Dear byrun,
The vinegar tip worked cleaned all the dust and rust, it is working perfect right now.

many thanks

 

hi paul,
I have taken the bolt out to recenter the wiper blade however it seems my problem is with the wiper hinge, it is slightly loose thats why when the wiper is working it touches to the bottom body, which makes noice and damage to the body paint.
Do you know how can i tighten up the wiper hinge?

 

Sounds lyk u need a new rear wiper arm. U can get them off eBay for a about a 10er.

 

Do you know how to change the wiper arms?
