rear washer drips

[JohnA]

Your dealer has a fix for this as of today. Contact the service department, it is only a minor adjustment and the insertion of a non return valve.

Thanks fo rthat Dermot, and thang god there is a fix. Will ring my dealer to see if it can be done when i drop it in for the 2000km check up.
Has been driving me nuts.

I had the same problem for the first few days. It seems to have resolved itself after using the washer a bit.

Mine seems to have died down a lot too, but did notice it yesterday. At first I thought my Golf had caught the Clap... A bit of pain to take in to get it fixed, but also a paing to keep cleaning the dribbles. MAy have to put whack on some Golf-size 'Depends' on.. Incontinence Health Information - Depend.com.au

thanks dermot, the fix seems simple enough with the non return valve, have emailed my dealer, hopefuly something can be put in relatively quickly and painlessly and doesnt invlove removing the whole rear hatch and lining or something hehe

Just an idea for admins ... create 1 sticky post with common questions and answers (like this one)
update it as we go ... (answers can be links to the posts or just short summary)

I know its fair a bit of work but will make life a lot easier for everyone

I think a great suggestion too, something I setup and maintain on another forum I visit.
Home Theatre Faqs (frequently Asked Questions) - Click Here First ! - DTV Forum Australia - Australia's Leading Digital TV and AV Forum

something that can be pretty easily enabled. one of the mods setup a sticky called mk6 golf FAQ or something, and allow people to post links in that thread to what they think are links to info that might be helpful, the mods can then add the links in the initial FAQ post at the start of the thread at their leisure and discretion.

could be maintained by a forum member too, but probably would suggest something best done by the mods, as never know if forum member like me quite likely to just jump in the gti and ride of into the sunset ! hehe

Just did a moderate accerleration up a slope and you guessed it! The rear washer dripped!

Same here, but mine takes longer. It stopped dripping after couple of weeks.

Just called my service department about the drip and they told me that they have to order the parts from Germany and will take about a month to get here... Doesn't bother me much though so I can wait

Hi guys, is there a TSB on this? Mine isn't too bad or anything but can see some washer fluid stains on the rear window. Assume dealers are fixing this now once you call them?

Booking the car in for one or two minor rattles etc and would be nice to do this at the same time.

Mine is booked in for the fix in about a month's time. The parts were ex Germany, hence the wait but yes, there is a dealer fix.
