C5 X7 2009 rear washer pipe repair

Unread post by rmunns »

I have seen some previous posts on this common problem, but still not sure whether it's a DIY repair or whether it's best to buy the Citroen kit.
Would someone please describe the procedure and ease of doing the repair? On my car the piece of pipe between the rear of the car and tailgate is broken, but when I taped it up it was clear that there is also a break further into the bodywork. I think.

did mine ok, i take it the corrugated pipe has broken?
replaced with clear plastic pipe from the nozzle if i recall right? to the one-way valve just inside the roofling on the RH side.
assuming it's aTourer then i managed to get headlining down enough to work on it, bit of a squeeze, but at the time it was the workhorse so did it the shortest way possible.
currently '06 C5 2.0 HDi auto estate Tip run and France trekker - well should be!! occupied currently by '10 Superb DSG 170 elegance- whistles and bells that work
