Windscreen Washer Hose Hanging Loose!

[derekleckie]

Hello

 

The hose which should feed water onto the windscreen for washing is hanging loose, and I can't see where it should be connected. I've felt as far as I can reach into the cavity behind the bonnet hinges, underneath the windscreen, but can't feel anything which might be the other part.

 

Can anyone tell me where this should go?

 

Many thanks for any help!

Hi Derek, welcome to the forum.

The hose disappears down into the wheel arch where the washer pump is located. http://pdftown.com/Citroen-Xantia-Service-Manual.html This is a link to a pdf verion of the Haynes manual. Download Part 1, then wait 15 mins before downloading Part 2.. Once this is done use an unzippping program (ie Winzip). This will then create one pdf file which you can look at with acrobat. I am not sure, but I belive that the inner wheel arch liner needs to be removed to gain access. It does sound like your hose is perished and needs to be replaced. New hose can be obtained from Halfords for about £4.

Hope this is of use to you.
