    Buenos Noches.

    I've got a MkII Golf, 6 years old and recently the water from the rear windscreen washer has only been going halfway up the windscreen, meaning the top half is bogging and i can hardly see out. The flow doesn't seem obstructed.

    Any suggestions on how to improve pressure or fix the problem?

    You could try removing the nozzle and steeping it to see if you can get any grit out of it. I assume the pump is fine seeing that you said it is just the rear that is giving trouble.

    Try poking a very fine piece of wire down the nozzle.

    The flow doesn't seem obstructed.

    Perhaps the nozzles aren't aimed correctly. Adjust them with a pin.

    Most Vw's have a wire mesh filter in the water reservoir to stop debris from entering the windscreen washer system. If this isnt there is quiet possible that they are blocked. Happened to a older vw is used to have. Remove the nossles and blow them out with an air hose worked well for me.
