Repair of the windshield washer tube of the Volkswagen Polo 9n

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we see how to make a makeshift but effective repair on the tube that carries the windshield washer fluid of a Volkswagen Polo 9n. The tube had broken due to old age, right at the point where it had bent, and was leaking, preventing the glass from being cleaned. The youtuber repaired it properly by removing the damaged part and inserting another tube for compressed air, of a smaller diameter and much longer than the part to be repaired, in order to join the two still good sides of the tube. A pass of hot glue then definitively closed the problem.
