The rear washer jet on my A3 isn’t working. Probably due to the cold spell. I only had water in the washer bottle so am worried the pipe has come apart. If so where it is likely to be?

The pipe will have come off where it connnects to the jet inside the tailgate, common fault with these. I very much doubt this is motoring news however biggrin

Don't use the rear squirt in the meantime - if it's blocked rather than detached it can easily burn the motor out.

Squirt it and see if its dripping through the boot lid, if so the pipe may have come adrift on the motor. But id have a bet on the jet being blocked. Take the cover off on the rear wiper arm and then pull off the jet and try it without the jet on.
