| 2006 volkwagen jetta tdi vehicle dom: 10/05 mileage: 31,000 windshield wiper/washer system the 2006 volkswagen jetta is equipped with an engine compartment mounted washer fluid reservoir and hood mounted washer fluid spray nozzles. in the area of the right hood hinge there is a flexible hose section in the plumbing of the system to allow for opening of the engine compartment hood while maintaining washer system plumbing integrity. routine underhood fluid checks and service intervals requiring engine access have weakened and cracked the flexible portion of the plumbing rendering the windshield washer inoperative on my vehicle. *tr | |||
