Can you blow back the wrong way with an airline to clear it for a while without dismantling?
No, its a sludge with bacteria.

I’ve no doubt I’ll need to get the bottle out to sort it. It looks like a massive pain in the arse to get at - wheel arch liner needs to come out.

The low screen wash warning keeps coming on too, so that’s no doubt going to bug me enough to fix it.

Started looking at the parking sensors too - one of them at the front is dead but there’s no life at all at the rear. Might need to get VCDS on it before I buy any parts.

Topping the screen wash up puts the warning out. Robson did mention something about the washers but I can't remember what it was. Give him a shout.

I’m guessing it’s pissing out from somewhere, topping it up turns the warning off for a bit but not long.

It doesn't drip or leave a puddle anywhere. It's a strange one.

Not yet. Have replaced the shitty plastic cogs but still need to reassemble the mechanism and reinstall it.
