    My sisters car failed the nct because the windscreen washer isnt working.
    This is what ive done so far.
    Checked fuse. = its fine.(wipers and washer run off same fuse, wipers working)
    Checked pump = no sound from pump with wiperstalk pulled back to actaviate washer.
    Ran a 12v power supply to pump = it ran off that and washers worked.
    Removed wiperstalk for inspection = striped it apart and could see nothing wrong,
    I need to get a voltage meter and check to see if power is getting to pump(have one cant find it)
    Is there something I havent thought of lads? and is this a known fault on the passat. Its an 02 with 2litre petrol engine.

    good chance its the column switch so, the wiper relay gets a signal from this at the same time as the washer pump is powered
