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.
There 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.
Open the rear liftgate on a Mercury Sable wagon and you will see the rear window washer fluid reservoir fill plug near the bottom of the passenger side tail light
I have a 2000 passat 2.8 v6 wagon, and have owned a 1999 passat 2.8 v6 sedan. I have been told by VW service departments that the AUTO trans units are SEALED so you cannot add fluid! Not sure about manual trans.
There is only 1 reservoir with 2 pumps used for front & rear and contain about 1 gallon of fluid...
there is no rear wiper fluid reservoir
you have to bleed or drain the fluid
On the 1992-1996 Camry wagon, the rear washer uses the front washer reservior. There is a long hose connecting the rear washer with the front reservior.
The washer fluid containter is in the cargo compartment; I believe on the right hand side. There is a little compartment that contains the washer fluid reservoir.
Open your hood and find the windshield wiper fluid tank and drain it. The pump is located on the side of the fluid tank and is plugged in. Remove the plug and the pump output first. Pull the windshield washer fluid pump out of the tank and replace it with the new one. Hook the electric connection and the pump output and refill your fluid tank.
The tank that supplies fluid for the windshield also supplies fluid for the rear wiper. It is located in the engine compartment.
Your washer pump is located right in the washer fluid bottle on the bottom of it.
This doesn't totally answer your question , but on a 1997 Ford Taurus wagon you refill the liftgate washer fluid reservoir by opening the liftgate and you will see a rubber plug below the passenger side taillight . So the reservoir for the rear windshield must be behind the interior trim in the cargo area
1999 Outback only has one tank for the front and back washer fluid. It has two pumps. The pump for the back windscreen is located higher than the one for the front so if the level gets low it reserves the rest of the fluid for the front windscreen. Fill it up and it'll work no problems. T
