the front washer is fine but the rear has not enough umph, it does little more than trickle out. any suggestions for clearing it? I tried inserting a needle and adjusting the angle, but no go. It seems very difficult to get at as the piping is all hidden.
Polo rear washer blockage

I don't know the details of the Polo but the first thing must be to get to the back of the jet, remove the pipe and see if there's water reaching it. If it is, then the jet is blocked - some have an in built one-way valve which if knackered, the jet needs replacing, other have a one-way valve somewhere in the pipe run. Simple enough to get a replacement. If there's only a trickle arriving at the valve then, you need to look at the water tank. Some have two pumps, one for the front and one for rear. Some I believe have only one, but you should be able to discover what's blocked up and clean it out. It may just be crap in the bottom the tank.
