Hi all, i have a 6n2 2000 tdi polo, my rear window wiper washer doesent work, i read online somewhere that it is a common problem on 6n/6n2 polos. Someone said the washer pipe might have snapped somewhere near the boot area and the boot might smell of the washer fluid, my boot does smell a bit fousty so i think the guy might be right. Has anyone came across this problem before?, if so how did you fix it?, does anyone know where to check?, and where exactly does the rubber pipe run from the washer bottle to the wiper at the back of the car, any help is much appreciated, thx all and kind regards:D

Does the pump make a noise?

If not check the fuses. There is a windscreen wash/wipe relay you could check.

Can I suggest that you add your car spec to your signature as it will save users asking each time, if you know the engine code what would also be helpful? 6n2 2000 TDI Polo which engine to you have because they do a 1.4 and 1.9 TDI? http://www.volkswagenforum.co.uk/f26/adding-your-car-spec-5119.html

If you don't say the engine size then we can be guessing all day again the engine code will be helpful. Yes they do a 1999-02 Polo 1.4 TDI - AMF but they also do 1996-00 Polo 1.7D, 1997 Polo 1.7D SDI, 1996-0 Polo 1.9D SDI and 1998-02 Polo 1.9D TDI.

2000 Polo 1.4 TDI - AMF will look great.

Hi m8, i didnt really give alot of info apart from the year and model and it was a diesel, this is probably more than enough that people need to help me as its nothing majore, and they defo dont do a 1.9 tid before 2002, ive never heard of it anyway, i really dont think i needed to put the engine size and the engine code as all the 6n2 polo are the same, only difference is one is petrol and ones diesel, its different if i was talking about an engine related problem for example, then i would put the engine size and code etc.
