DS 3 Rear Washer Jet

[xko101]

Hi

My 2011 DS3 rear washer jet has suddenly decided to stop squirting water. I can hear the motor pump working and there is no water leak under the car.
I can't seem to find any visible screws to be able to remove the rear top brake light assembly to inspect the jet and piping.

Any ideas

Thanks in advance

You need to open the tailgate and on the INSIDE there are 2 caps / shields to be removed to expose the brake light clips that need to be carefully released:

Use trim removal tools to carefully detach the brake light, which will expose the electrical connection and the rear washer piping.

You may want to check to see if the washer jet is blocked - use a pin to see if you can dislodge anything that may be blocking it.

Hi. Thanks for the response,
I have taken the caps off but it's not immediately oblivious how to release the clips inside the trim. The aperture is too small to see what one is doing and I don't want to Force the trim off

Thanks in advance

i have the same issue, are these push or slide clips?

I just did this on my recently bought DS3, I used a small screwdrivers and gently probed about until I found the clip, and pushed until I could manipulate the light assembly out. Then disconnected the wiring and hose, then blew the nozzle both ways. Now works ok, but I think i opned th ehole a litle when messing about with a needle a few weeks ago!
Hope this helps.
