Washers won’t work
The washers both front and rear on my 2010 scirocco won’t work. Full washers bottle no fuse to change no noise when trying to squirt water front or rear. Is it a washer motor fault. Has been working fine. Could it be the stalk Trying to get to the bottom of what the problem is

Re: Washers won’t work
If when you operate the washers and the wipers operate for a couple of wipes that would rule out it being the stalk. As it's both front and rear, I think it's ulikely to be the stalk.
It could well be the motor as a single motor is used for both front and rear. It operates in one direction for the front and the other for the rear.
This may sound strange but try disconnecting the battery for a short period and reconnect as that can reset modules and make things suddenly work. Just be aware if you do so a couple of warning lights will appear on the dash until the car is driven a short distance.
There are wiring diagrams available to download on the site from some of the members which may to diagnose.
