Using screen wash after De-wipering rear window

Post by CaptainRedex »

Ive dear wipered my rear window and have cable tied up/blocked my rear screen wash fluid pipe at rear window, was wondering if anyone had done this and continued to use there front screen wash? Unsure of it will result in a burst pipe or burn out the motor? Or leak... Got an MOT comming up so they will need to test the front screen wash... Thanks

Seems a little counter productive to remove the rear wiper - I know it is fashionable - but- the rear wiper is useful on a Hatchback as the rear screens get really manky driving on wet/dirty roads.

if you want to do it really nicely, find a stalk of a transporter t5 or similar without the rear washer option on the right hand lever.

Thanks. Yes, could be interested if it hasn't found it's way into a skip by now.
