Anyone tried to repair water leak on a rear wiper motor?

Thought I'd make an effort to get the rear wash working.....

System full of goo = fixed
One way valve stuck = fixed
Wiper motor transfer tube full of dirt = fixed
Nozzles blocked = fixed

Now the system is all working......

Spindle leak on the wiper motor...... ok not so easy.... Confused

Has anyone had one apart or is it a complete waste of time - it must only be an o-ring or something similar. I saw the earlier RRUK thread on this which suggests it is but I wonder if anyone has actually tried??

Cheers, Jon.

Not sure how I managed to miss that thread when I searched earlier Confused

Anyway I've got it all apart and yes it looks like that little lip seal was leaking. On the up side because the wash system hasn't worked for a fair while before today the drive mechanism is like new inside.

Seal ordered, standby.

Many thanks for pointing me to the afm thread.

Cheers, Jon.

You're welcome Jon.

Before you search, check the wiki first ( the link is located at the top of the each page in the banner area) and there's a huge list of useful fixes , guides and checklists.

It's a bit of a quest for forum members to post something ( like that) considered so useful it's " wikified " by the moderator Thumbs Up GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus

All back together and working a treat Thumbs Up
As in the wiki I also removed the old lip seal and ended up grinding some slightly oversized screws back to a total length of 5.5mm, which worked very well with a 2mm daimeter hole. Just ordered a new non-return valve as that was letting the water back. Thanks to the forum.... Proper job..... Thumbs Up

Got to do that to mine, has started leaking onto the shelf........ Has been for months though so there is a bit of a lack of urgency. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Rolling with laughter I took the trim off to have a proper look at mine, it's leaking slightly too, but hasn't made it as far as the parcel shelf yet - I guess I can ignore it for a bit longer Whistle
