Where does the rear wash wipe pipe feed through? The front washer works fine. The rear doesn't work in that it makes the noise so the pump is working but there's no water coming through. I checked the washer bottle in the engine bay & the pipe goes to the front windscreen so I'm at a loss here; does the rear have a separate feed

Thanks MHM, when I press the button to wash the rear it makes the right noise just nothing happening at the right place. Will keep searching for the water

As MHM has given the route, I would take the jet out of the rear wing and try it again open pipe, if its not been used in a while they can get blocked

Flush the washer bottle out and send clean water through without the jet on

that way it will eliminate every thing but the jet, as you can hear it running, but pump may be phoobarred. very small chance that the pipe is blocked / kinked

There is a non return valve in the pipe in the back door about 10cm from the wiper. Mine was blocked and I had to replace it.

I took the nozzle of mine out. The last owner, to my frustration only used plain water in the washer bottle. Guess what? Pond life in the washer bottle and tank. I took then nozzle out of the end of the pipe and sprayed about four washer bottles full of water through and it worked much better. You twist the nozzle and it comes out

You will then have the fun of trying to line up the nozzle with the glass. I struggled with this but I can now soak pedestrians on the opposite pavement with incredible accuracy ;-)
