Rear washer fault?

[AlexD333]

Went up on the slope and turned the engine off. Noticed the rear washer dribbling well...?

Non-return valve faulty, replacements aren't expensive at all

Don't know where the valve is located on the Terrano but if you can find the feed tube just cut it and put the valve in there the location won't make any difference. The rubber tubing just pushes onto the valve ends.

Either that or firebobby is right... tbh I reckon firebobby could be on the money

I agree with crying though.
I don't like seeing a stressed Terrano..
It'll be on valium next.

I thought the one way valve was to stop the water going back to the pump, thus keeping the line full.

Since the wash bottle isn't above the nozzle, I can't see it syphoning out

So I wonder if there is a wiring fault and the pump is running slow, allowing water through, this can be checked by removing the connector on the pump, or take out the " correct" fuse.
Alternatively, the vent on the washer bottle tank is blocked, and the warm air under the bonnet makes the water expand and out of the rear screen washer...
Check by removing filler cap.

It does seem like a lot of water.

Definitely the non return valve as it's a common one with the Y61s.

Valve does stop water returning to the bottle but it also stops water flowing towards the washer as only pressurised water can make it past the valve.

It's gotta be syphon sytle, I thought that but it's only on steep inclines.
