Fiat cinquecento help

[Ashi]

My rear washer fluid has not been working for a long time. The front works fine, theres plenty of washer fluid and all the wipers work. Any ideas?

Chances are that the hose is perished. If the motor is working, hold down the washer switch (or stalk depending if you have an air bag or not) for 30 seconds or so then try and find the subsequent pool of water. If memory serves, the pipe can be accessed from behind the rear plastic arm rest cards.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I dont have airbags, so its a switch. Where would the water appear? Under the car?
I dont think the motor works, i'll have a check in the morning.

If the motor is not working then the pipes might be ok. To get to the motor (again... if memory serves), you will have to take the plastic inner wheel arch of to gain access to the washer botte and motor. Should just be a simple replacement from halfrauds after that.

If the motor is working then the pipe could have perished anywhere from the washer bottle to the rear screen. It is likely, at least on mine, that it has perished near the water bottle though. BUT once they start to perish, you will have the same problem again and again so it might be worth replacing the entire pipe.
