HELP...washer jet pipe
 
Right guys joined last week and said wouldn't be long before i was pestering you with questions.....
drove down from lake district to watford yesterday unfortunately it was -8 ! when i set off and my washer jets must have been frozen as it now seems the pipe has blown off the pump/bottle.

not fun stoppin on the hard shoulder of the M6 toll road to clean salt off your windscreen coz you cant see.

how do you get to the bottom of the bottle or the pump can only see the top once the plastic trim is removed.......
is it through the wheel arch ???????????

well turned out was frozen solid along the whole line.......something to do with it bein -8 !!!!! love livin in the lakes......but as i was on the way to audi dealers my power steering died........
best work out i have had in a while wrestling round north london..........

can i just say the guys at aylesbury Audi were superstars sorting it for me that day with skeleton staff so i could get home for christmas as 4 other audi dealers..(who shall remain nameless) were hopeless.

Didn't see the -8 bit :) Remember to make sure your screenwash mix is a high enough %age of was to water to cope.
