Skoda re window wash

Just stick a sewing pin/needle in the centre of the back screen washer jet to remove the muck that is blocking the hole.

He said that he can't see the nozzel. It will probably be hidden under a bit of trim. I'd go for fuse wire rather than needle.

I've got a 2004 Octy Combi (Estate), may be the same.

Take a look where the CD Changer is located. Under it there is a water pipe and for mine the join connector had failed. Luckily there was quite a lot of rust preventative wax down there, so the water leak didn't pose much of a risk.

Exactly my point!

Where is the nozzle?

A description relating it to the wiper shaft would help - is it nearby, or perhaps at the dop of the window, or mounted on the radio aerial?

TIA

I avoid Skoda out of habit, but the usual location of a rear nozzle is either the top (or occasionally bottom) of the screen or in the end of the wiper arm where it leaves the tailgate.

Thanks.

There's a hinged plasic cover over the nut that holds the wiper assembly on its shaft. Lift that, the nozzle is visible on the top of the shaft. It is removeable - the shaft is hollow (about 2mm drilling) and water comes out of that very nicely.

It's actually a double nozzle; clean both pinholes and it works fine.

The hinged cover has holes that are supposed to align with the holes in the nozzle - it very nearly does - so one jet works fine, the other hits the plastic and splashes about. Some careful work with a knife should cure that.
