Brilliant to see that this can be done without having to remove the wheel. Thanks

[@NOTaMOD]

No worries at all! It is definitely more awkward but it is not a job worth jacking up the car and removing the wheel for haha

[@jive091]

The exact thing has happened to my mums clio . This is brilliant thanks 👍great video

[@NOTaMOD]

No worries at all mate! Glad it helped! 👌👍 lemme know how ya get on !

[@chrislock749]

Just repaired my wife's Clio.....thanks for the video!

[@NOTaMOD]

No worries at all! Glad it could help! It’s actually my gf car which is why I’m locking in content for this car but hopefully we should have some coming up in 2022 👌👍

Hello from Japan. My clio had the same failure and I was looking for a way to fix it. Your videos are great. Thank you so much.

[@NOTaMOD]

Hello! Thats very interesting what made you go for a clio when you have so many Japanese car choices? Glad you Enjoyed! If you could subscribe it would be much appreciated!

[@claironnette]

Thanks for the great video. The 'free part' that was found looks like the left rubber tube to evacuate water from the windscreen... It shouldn't come out from the bottom unless it's broken 😂

[@NOTaMOD]

Hahaah sounds about right ! Isn’t working on cars if one job doesn’t become 2 😂😂Thanks for letting me know though ! Haha

[@MarciMercy]

Thank you very much! Your video enabled me to do it myself and save around 80€.

[@NOTaMOD]

Glad it could help! Should have more Clio 3 content coming up so sun for more videos if your interested 🔥🔥

[@SoloLap]

Nice little job done!

[@NOTaMOD]

Yes yes it’s always so satisfying when it all comes together nicely! Haha it never seems to happen in this hobby 😂😂

[@SoloLap]

@@NOTaMOD if we could, every job would be stuff we want to do and not have to with cars 😂

[@NOTaMOD]

😂😂😂 it’d be nice if we could fix one thing without breaking 4 hahah

[@MrHektik007]

Thanks for the guide mate.

[@NOTaMOD]

No worries mate🔥👌 glad it helped 💪

[@henry9406]

Thanks mate , perfect video 🙏👍🍻

[@NOTaMOD]

Cheers mate! Glad I could help!

[@DoObs]

So heres a problem what if the pipe has perished just as it goes into the firewall of the car....how to I go about getting to replace all that piping...there is no real info on the PDFs about the routing of that piping to the back window of the CLIO3 2008

[@NOTaMOD]

If it’s just as you went in could you not pull it out from the firewall cut it similar to I did and connect with the connector resting in the hole in the firewall? I am not sure how perished it is but the plastic connector would also be more resilient to cuts from the firewall! 👍 hope this helps 👌

[@fbattaino]

Thanks for your video!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@NOTaMOD]

No problem! Glad it helped 👌👍

[@henry9406]

Job done thanks to this video, thanks again very well made 🍻

[@NOTaMOD]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you stick around and sub to the channel mate! Hoping to be getting plenty more content out for the Clio soon!

[@martinmaciaszczak557]

Thank you very much for this video. 😁

[@NOTaMOD]

No worries at all! Looking to have more Clio 3 content soon! Sub to stay in the loop 🔥🔥

[@josephsharkey5913]

Good helpful Video.

[@NOTaMOD]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it !

[@pescado99]

Surely easier with the wheel off?

[@MarciMercy]

There was enough space for everything, so no need to take the wheel off.

[@NOTaMOD]

Everything’s easier with the wheel off😂 but plenty of space to counter the effort of jacking up and removing the wheel 😂

[@juliofaria1552]

Good DIY. But to make it perfect I would put 2 plastic tie wraps on each side of that pipe clamping the rubber hose.

[@NOTaMOD]

I did debate this but in all honesty it’s still holding up great and I can’t imagine the washer pump is high enough pressure to cause issues! Definitely a must for best practice though 👍

[@1982garyo]

Mine is doing the exact same thing id probably take my wheel off bit better acsess

[@NOTaMOD]

It most definitely would be! but this is a new car to me/the channel and not actually mine (girlfriends) so don't know the condition of wheel nuts etc... Decided I would rather not open another can of worms haha! Sub for more videos like this !

[@WendyWindows]

Got to be one of the worse designs ever. The previouse position was perfect. Thanks for the Video.

[@NOTaMOD]

It is not ideal but it could definitely be worse haha! Where was it positioned previously? No worries at all! Hope you enjoy the channel and subscribe!

[@WendyWindows]

It was just up under the windscreen.

[@NOTaMOD]

Mate that is so much more convenient hahah unbelievable haha

[@bit2shift]

I figured out why the hose gets damaged in almost all Clio 3... It's that damn plastic clip on the top of the fender cover that cuts into the hose.

[@larsh.alhaug1771]

OH, why not remove the wheel before this?

[@NOTaMOD]

I mean you definitely can but there is plenty of space without it so it’s just adding work to jack up and remove wheel for no real reason! Entirely up to you though 👍

[@LiamFrancis-s3u]

Lot easier if the wheel was off

[@NOTaMOD]

Most likely, but this is a new car to the channel and not actually mine (girlfriends) so don't know the condition of wheel nuts etc... Decided I would rather not open another can of worms haha

[@MargaretNel-l3f]

I embarrassed myself because of your video. There is no need to take the fender covers off completely. Panel beater pulled the top part towards him and completed the job in less than half an hour.

[@NOTaMOD]

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately doing that wouldn’t make for a very good view for the video and I am learning as I go. Glad you found out the solution to your issue though 💪👍

[@56tryfan]

Take the wheel off for God's sake 🥴
