Title: Rear washer doesn't work
Post by: zip on August 22, 2012, 13:30:49

Hi,

rear washer doesn't spray water.

I can hear some motor working, same sound when I run front one (which does work).

I know it may sound stupid but is there specific water level that has to be so rear washer will spray water :blubber:

tnx in advance for helping.

no, the rear washer has to spray water with whatever level, unless empty, of water is in a tank.
you may easy get an access to the rear washer hose by removing additional led stop light (a nozzle might be clogged)

Hi Zip..

I would get that fixed at the same time as the Steering wheel .. Should work if there is enough water for the fronts as I think it uses the same motor  :winker:

Washer and wheel peeling are both known faults (You are probably unlucky to get both)  :disapp:

Mine was replaced today. Definitely only one of them as mine was spraying front and back at the same time.

Thanks people for quick and solid answers :goodjob: :goodjob:, I will just take it to Hyundai because it is still under warranty.

Are there any more known issues I should know, as it looks I should take it into consideration :undecided:  :sweating:

from a vast experience of Russian owners:
- hatch door paint issue
- additional stop led light cracks and damages paint
- headlights have condensate

I dont have any of those issues on my 4 year old Korean built car so dont go looking for trouble that may not be there... relax!

However, that rear washer problem was present on the 2008 model Hy Coupe my daughter bought recently and the dealer replaced the motor as a fix... after I pointed it out... it now works fine.

You can check if its likely to be failing by looking at the front spray nozzles when operating the rear washer. Any dribbles from the front spray nozzles & the motor will soon be failing.

Always use a top quality windscreen washer fluid at the correct mix... avoid dishwashing up liquid as its full of salt, and water all on its own can breed bacteria which will block up pipework and nozzles.

Hardly use the washers these days as I have the use of natural rainwater nearly 24/7
