I've had this problem with the rear washer nozzles for a while now. It needs attention finally due to now living in an arear that's virtually dirt roads.
After filling the washer bottle up, be driving and or stationary, (being on a slight incline) it starts to dribble out the rear and occasionally on the window.
Mainly pisses out the LH barn door and then onto the ground.
I've been looking around Google, Other forums, and also IH8MUD. There's threads stating it's the diverter valve. Upon looking at the schematics of my vehicle I don't seem to have one..? I'm sure I haven't seen one down the back there either. I take it they're mainly on the petrol 80's? Others are saying there's some sort of one-way valve in the nozzle its self? (Related to different manufactured vehicles) Does the 80 have one way nozzles?
Others stating it could be due to the bottle being old and cracked, which it is (replacement coming soon) but it's not leaking from there.
I've checked all clear lines up and around the cargo area at the rear of the 80. The lines and splitters aren't blocked, loose or cracked. So I'm lead to believe that's it's to do with the nozzles them selves.
Unless it's a common problem with the 80's that I am not aware of? Is it just gravity doing its thing?
Thanks,
