Audi: A3 rear wash/wipe problem

My 2000 A3 used to spray water on the rear window as soon as I pushed the
stalk forward - now I have to hold it forward for 5 secs, when I can hear
the power activating but no water immediately.

Any ideas as to the cause? The reservoir is totally full and I have cleared
the nozzle with a pin. For what it's worth the front nozzles work fine. I
can't see how a blocked water line would cause a delay, surely it would just
not work at all?

Thanks

I would imagine it will, the only problem being that if its hanging off,
every time you use it, its spraying water and whatever else you have in the
tank into the boot. Not a good thing IMO.
