Polo needs some love and care :(

[karlak]

Had my Sons 9n Polo Serviced today where they picked up that the Anti-roll-bar and Rear wishbone bushes are all shot to pieces and need replacing. I may bite the bullet and get the garage to do them as I dont really have the time and ramps etc to do it.

They also picked up that the rear washer isnt working. I chased the pipe and it had was disconnected at the motor and also under the engine bay. Popped them back together and now water gets to the rear (well sort of) -- Water comes out of the interior surround etc. I have had it apart and it looks like the plastic "L" shaped peace that goes into the wiper assempbly has a problem. Some water comes out of the nozzle, but then water also sprays back intot he car from the plast L shaped part.

Is this a bit of a known issue with these ? I had it apart and cant see any "o" rings or alike which I thought there would be.


any help/advice appreciated

Anti roll bar bushes are easy. The washer is commen just don't use it won't fail mot on it.

It will fail the MOT if it doesn't work.. If you dont have one however it wont fail

Me mates did

Well, its supposed to fail If the MOT man doesn't then thats just good luck

I think that only applies to the front washer/wiper, i dont think the rear wipe/wash system (where fitted) is an mot test item.
