Afternoon folks, have had the rear washer jet fail on the 9-3 (98 S plate) and was just wondering if anybody has ever done a DIY fix on one of these? I can still hear the pump going when I try to use it but get no fluid, easy fix or am I looking at getting a tamed mechanic to take a look at it?

Take the panneling off the back of the boot and you will see that the washer pipe has come loose. Just fix it back on and tape it up and should be all good.

Could also have popped off from the pump end, or be a one-way return valve failure, which is not uncommon.
