Bootlid not unlocking and washer jets not spraying
Posted: Sat Feb 22, 2020 4:57 pm
Hi guys,
as the tile states really I have 2016 Scirocco, I haven't driven it for a few weeks and when going out in it today it seems the windscreen washer jets wouldn't spray, I stopped at a petrol station picked up some screen wash as I thought it must be empty and proceeded to fill up the tank. Once full I then went to put the half full bottle of screen wash in the boot ..... you guessed it, I then realised I could not unlock it on the key fob or the button on the door. So now the only way to open is manually through the back states.
I picked up a new washer motor on my way back just in case it was this and swapped it out as it was a fairly cheap and accessible option to rule out straight away. Same problem, no spray, no noise from the pump, nothing.
I ran VCDS and it came up with 3 faults
00897 Windscreen washer pump (v5)
012 - electrical fault in circuit
00897 Windscreen washer pump (v5)
011 - open circuit
03396 - Supply voltage terminal 30 for central locking
011 - open circuit - intermittent
I was hoping the issue was possibly a fuse or relay but with a lot of trawling on the internet I cannot find out where it would be located.
Fingers crossed someone can help! Thanks in advance!
