**rearwasher Problem Important Info**

Jenko · 02-06-2007, 12:36 PM

My rear washer hasnt worked for a few months.
This morning i got in my car and drove to the petrol station when i got there i couldt lock my car off the key fob. I then noticed the interior light didnt work and neither did the windows. When i went to get my spare key to check if it was the key fob my alarm went off and i couldnt turn it off. I took it to the Audi garage and it turns out a pipe for my rear washer had come loose and flooded my central locking and my alarm system. Audi have ordered the parts and it will cost 515 pounds in total they are doing it tomorrow. So if you have a rear washer problem get it sorted straight away. If you dont you could end up like me. Just thought id let you all know just in case.

The pipe came off my A3 too but luckily it didnt cause too much damage,instead it just filled up the bootlid with water and took a few weeks to dry out so i think i was lucky!!

How do you get the facsia off the boot lid - is it just a click fit type thing? Am worried now cos mine's not been working for a few months either now!!!
Cheers,
Dave

You have to pull/prize it round the edges as its held on by those dreaded black poppers but be carefull as your bound to break a couple getting it off !!

there are two screws aswell in the handle inside the boot, once they are off you just prize it off.
