Accelerate and decelerate quickly until no water is left in the tank... works for me

Just out of curiosity, why is it some FTOs have a rear window wiper whilst others (like mine) don't??

I love the rear wiper and reckon they should be on all cars, but normally they are only on hatchbacks and wagons, so they are not close to the rear passengers head.

I have never seen one on a sedan or coupe before, and was pleasantly surprised to see it on the FTO.

While you don't need a rear wiper when moving at a steady pace, it comes in very handy during slow peak hour or reversing, when the rain has a chance to builds up on the rear windscreen.

I did.

It's not blocked.

It must be some thing else.

Thanks,

Disconnect the hose from the rear water squirter and then go press the squirt button on your dash. You may want a bucket in your boot to put the end of the hose in

If water comes out the hose, the issue is the plastic squirter nozzles. If water doesn't come out the hose, then you need to track it back to the engine bay.

Do you hear the electric water pump motor go when you squirt the rear windscreen, if not this could be the problem

Any idea as to where the water tube will be at the rear?

Thank you,
