On my 2012 Touareg, the rear washer is misbehaving. The twin nozzles, which mount on the wiper shaft, do not spray a proper distance from the shaft. When operated, plenty of fluid comes out, but does not reach up far enough to where the blade is doing its work.
I first tested the amount of fluid reaching the wiper shaft by taking off the nozzle assembly and activating the washer. It produces a nice stream that travels 4 to 5 feet to the rear, away from the car.
I then cleaned the nozzle unit with some thin, stiff wire, and air pressure. This did not improve the spray.
Next I ordered a replacement for the nozzle assembly from VW. This also had no effect on the spray pattern.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
