i have just brought a type r sti and every time u boot it the rear washer works. it is at any speed its almost as if it is with the boost of the turbo but i really dont know any help would be great.

i have heard this is common ?

 

There will be a one way valve sticking somewhere.

 

The car has an intercooler water spray triggered by the ecu, someone has connected the plumbing incorrectly. Your rear washer jet is connected to the IC tank, and if you look, may be your IC spray works when you operate the "washers"....

HTH

dunx

P.S. Mine are up near the passenger side bulkhead near the front strut.

P.P.S. I'm using my IC tank to supply my front washers, 'cos I needed some room in the engine bay for a catch can !

 

Could it not be an ex-Clown's car? # AROOO-RAHHH! #

 

its not the ic spray that all works fine. i dont think it was a clowns but could have been cheers for your help.

 

What's happened to people's sense of humour these days? Credit crunch affecting moods?

 

Fixed this problem on mine last week. If you follow the black pipe from the rear wash wipe there is a one way valve which is connected to a clear pipe. The spring inside mine had disintegrated so I cunningly prised it apart and replaced the spring with one from a biro.

 

thanks jonny.
i must admit i did laugh a bit.
