Washed the 145 today and decided to try and get the non-squirting rear washers going - they never have. Had a quick poke with a small safety pin but it looks like that do more harm than good. Anyone had any joy getting these going? Ta

often they'll start working again after a blast with an airline, but best to disconnect the pipe before you do or it could blow off somewhere inaccessible
doesn't the 145 washer jet sit in the centre near the wiper spindle mate? easy enough to pull off the hatch cover and pull the pipe off if so.....if I remember it correctly that is!

Thought it was going to be a trim off job Kev but it's been damn cold down here today and I'm always wary of brittle plastic snapping bits off. Will wait for it to warm up a bit. Just hope the pipe hasn't come off somewhere inaccessable. Cheers.

Had a spare hour after work tonight so took the rear trim off-bloody pipe was disconnected. Had to take the motor out to get it reconnected and Hey Presto. Feeling pleased after 4 years without rear wash.
