Rear Window wash leaks on a slope ? cure. was created by teafortwo0789
When I park the Jimny nose up on a slope, the rear washer leaks and siphons off all the washer fluid, leaving me with an empty bottle.\!!! :( On a previous topic I complained at the rather small washer bottle. Any thoughts as to the cure / cause?B)

There should be a spring loaded one way valve near to the rear nozzle, to stop the fluid running back to the tank, it takes a bit of pressure to let the fluid out, to stop the jet dribbling.
Sounds like it is missing or the spring has given up.

I dont know exactly where it is I'm afraid....

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Makes sense. From what you say it sounds as though there will be a valve inside the water jet 'rod' / nozzle. I'll take it to bits and have a look and report back.

Many thanks. Tony aka (teafortwo0789)

I would have thought it was in inline valve, if there isn't one, perhaps you could get one from a motor factors and fit it inside the rear door.

the 'valve' is in-line at the rear window wash/wipe ... little pipe behind rear door cover.. cost me a few quid from Suzuki.
