gracie Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Can anyone tell me if the rear screen washers on a car are required to work to pass the mot ?. Mine have stopped working and it will be expensive to put right. The front ones are ok . Can anyone advise please ?. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedders Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 What's stopped working the wiper itself or the squirty water coming out? If it's just the squirty water it's not that difficult, if it the wiper arm not moving it could be more serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffacake Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Mine stopped working ages ago and my car still passes its MOT. Its not a Polo by any chance is it, its a known fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethete Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 It is supposed to be working to pass the test but some testers will let it go. Mine didn't used to work either and I got it through. But, if it's there then technically it should working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracie Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 It squirts out ok from the pump but the pipe then passes through the bulkhead and re appears at the jet, which is in the roof panel, so somewhere along this point the pipe is either blocked or kinked Either way i cant get at it without major works. Thank you for your replies, i think i will risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrence Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I assume you've checked for a blocked nozzle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
