There is no separate reservoir for the rear fluid on an 02 Passat Wagon. There are a couple reasons why your washer might not be working: 1. a hose came disconnected (very common). Open the rear hatch and remove the side panel cover on the drivers side. This access panel is marked with a red triangle. Reach up into the compartment and you will find a small hose. This hose delivers the fluid from the front reservoir to the rear washer. An elbow in the hose regularly comes disconnected, or breaks. If this has happened, you will probably see and/or smell washer fluid in this compartment. Re-connect the hose and this should fix your problem, at least for a while. 2. your nozzle is clogged. The nozzle is located at the base of the rear wiper. There is a plastic cover that can be pivoted out of the way to access the nozzle. Pivot this cover towards the wiper blade. The nozzle will pull straight out using your fingers, or (carefully) with pliers. Clean the nozzle by blowing compressed air in the normal direction of flow, or by using a fine wire to push out any contaminants. I'm not sure but there might be a small check valve (one-way valve) that might make it feel like it's clogged. Don't be too aggressive in cleaning, just try to remove any crud in the tube end of the nozzle, reinstall, and try it out.

∙ 13y agoThere is no tank for the rear window. There are two pumps in the one tank under the hood, one pump is for the front and the second is for the back window. If you press the button for the washer fluid on the rear window and you can't hear the pump running you may need a new pump. Before you replace the pump make sure the pump is bad by checking if there is power going the pump. If the pump is running but still no fluid is coming out you might have a broken line or the nozzle is clogged up. Also when the level of fluid is low the back window will not get any fluid but the front will, because it is more important. It will also let you know that you are about to run out of fluid.
