Rear washer and wiper not working- spooky

Is the rear wiper working, but not the rear wash ?.
When you press the wash button, can you hear the motor spinning ?.
My guess would be yes to both ?.
If so, check that the rear washer supply pipe has not come apart.
It’s located under the bonnet, under the brake booster.
A number of members have had the same problem when the temperature drops.
The pipe freezes and pushes the joint apart.
If this is the case, re-attach the pipe and increase the strength of your washer fluid.
This is what you are looking ? for.
Kindly provided by another member.
The washer pipe is the one in the centre of the close up shot.

Neither the washer nor wiper are working (rear) and there is no sound of a pump. The front washer and wiper are both working. I topped up the fluid just to be on the safe side.

Is the tailgate making contact if it is shut on first catch they do not work.

A year later, I had the same problem. The wiper works, the motor spins, but there is no water on the rear screen.

I took at look at this post but when I found the pipe indicated on my car, it was all connected. I had a look around and found a disconnected pipe at the front of the 'engine' bay to the left of the washer fluid tank. I forgot to photograph the disconnected pipe but I'm sure you can imagine that!

Here is the pipe after I'd reconnected it. Taking this photo made me realise I hadn't connected it as well as I'd thought.



Here's the pipe fully back on the connector, with a zip tie holding it in place.



I hope this helps someone in future winters.

I have a short video showing exactly where this is but can't work out how to post or share that. It's down here...
