northernmonkey Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hi guys, Had a search and can't find anything here. The rear washer jet dribbles water out? front and headlight washers are fine. Cleaned the jet holes to see if that is the cause, still can't find the problem. Any help appreciated. Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimm Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Get to the washer pump motors and swap the pipes around front to back and try that to make sure your pumps are working as they should. Your washer bottle may be full of gunk so could be blocking the flow up. A two mintue job that will probaly take you all afternoon to do.

HassanZ Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I have the same issue! At first I thought I may have pushed the stalk by mistake which may have released some water, but I've now noticed dried water that has trickled down my rear windscreen a few times now. I've now accepted the fact that it actually leaks! It can't be rain water/condensation as this has happened on a dry summers day on multiple occasions also. I'm curious to know what the cause of this is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techinstaller Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 could be worth looking at the non return valve in the washer water pipe at the rear as these fail quite common and the water then either does not come out at all or only dribles out ,best using after market replacement as if like the front one (locate under wiper scuttle in brake fluid cover area nissan wanted £22 for the valve as it only comes complete with pipes lol. i think the rear valve is acutually in the tailgate but sure a more knowledgable Z er will come along soon and let you know exact location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 yep, just the non return valve, very cheap part to replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy75 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Ooh, might have to sort this one mine then - only happens under "heavy" acceleration. Just assumed she was wetting herself in anticipation of the twisty bits. Anyone have a part number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
