Snoopy Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Usually not an actual leak from outside, but the tubing for the rear wash/wipe has popped off or split, so when you try and squirt the rear screen it ends up weeing into the tailgate, all over the locking mechanism.Worth fixing, as it can cause the alarm to go off.

GTi Si Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 It is very common on the Mk4 Golf. All you need to do is tie wrap the pipe so it isn't hanging loose.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavs_arosa16v Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 On my car the piece that connects onto the motor had cracked. So i chucked it away and got a piece of clear hose and a one way valve. Made a better alternative which wont crack. I get a decent spray now, which sprays up to the top of the screen.

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I am on my fourth rear wiper motor/washer assembly, fourth boot locking assembly and fourth alarm switch/boot open switch. All under warranty for the same problem.All they need to do is fit the Audi style washer that rotates with the wiper spindle so the washer tube (which is staic on the VW system) doesnt grab in the centre of the wiper spindle and break like the VW one does! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lauryn Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Found this problem on the car today - the alarm started going off when I locked it, and the dash display said the boot was open when it was definately locked. Took the plastic off and had a look - its the actual piece that connects right into the washer area, not any of the piping. I've disconnected it so that it doesnt think its open and so the alarm wont go off. Only thing is, what needs replaced? Hopefully the wiring will dry out OK.CheersLauryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 take the boot off and pop some plumming tape around it so it wont come off again and it wont leak then worked for me as i got fed up of putting it back on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
