beska133 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hi all,Managed to come across a very strange problem, after buying my arosa, the rear sprayer was abit poor, sometimes sprayed foamy screen wash, sometimes looked like clear water and didn't clean well, After hoovering my car, i noticed the rear left side carpet was soaked, which explained why it stank of screenwash the whole time!After ripping out the seats, pulling up the carpet, all the trip and following the wiring back with the screenwash pipe, found that the connector had come away from the second bit of hose! So when i was spraying the back window, it was infact soaking my back seats and carpet!Sorted now, vaxed the seats and my rear sprayer works fine, what a ball ache of a job it was! How the pipes came apart is another mysteryAnyone wanting any help with ripping up carpet or a simala problem give me a shout : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the pipes came apart is another mysteryIt's usually the previous owner having used the wrong screenwash additive.The VAG additive is thin and watery (but very effective) and causes no problems. Some other brand additives are a bit thicker and they cause the spray jets to clog. The pressure builds up and the pipe breaks at a connection, usually in the most inconvenient place.

You're supposed to put it in the screenwash bottle under the bonnet, not drink the stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
