Rear Camera Washer - Not Working

[Iben]

Rear washer has been working perfectly on my old Turbo S (2020) and new Turbo GT (2025).
Contact Porsche and complain.

Mine squirts water but makes no difference to the view. Can it be adjusted ?

Powerful spray on my CT.
But picture get's blurry after a few seconds again.

My non-ST/CT Taycan has the rear camera washer and it’s nearly worthless. Had it on my list for a dealer visit and they said it was working as designed. SMH….

So when I reverse, I get that icon to wash the rear camera. If I press it, it acknowledges the press, but there is no fluid. I tried to find it in the owner's manual and some searching, but is there something I'm missing?

Thanks.

I had the same problem on my 2021 Taycan. In reverse, I pressed the icon multiple times, heard the rear wash motor engage, but no fluid was released. I filmed and took to the car to the dealer. they replaced the faulty washer unit under warranty and it works just fine now (plenty of wash fluid is sprayed across lense) and on the first press.

I don't think so. Apply some Rain-X which might help

First of all, does the pump make a sound? You should hear it trying to squirt water even if none is coming out.

If it makes sound, the orifice from which the water comes might be blocked by road junk. Take a needle, and try to unplug the whole. Obviously, the nozzle should be there... if it's not, there's your problem.

Third. It is winter. Assuming you didn't put winter cleaning fluid in, it may also have just frozen.

Nozzle is there and looks clean, the pump makes a distinctive two short sounds, I pressed it 4 times and nothing comes out. Guess I'll add it to my next dealer visit.

Where's the button for this on the non ST/CT? I rarely use the cameras as habit/preference are the wing mirrors. In winter every time I look at the rear camera its just a blur!

On the right hand stalk push away from you when in reverse - the button at the end of the stalk is for switching the wiper on / off only.

My button is on the screen when you hit the backup cam. After several days of trying multiple times (like 16 tries every day for 3-4 days) I finally got some spray. Must have been blocked somehow. It wasn't cold enough to be frozen, but the area was cleaned several times. Hope it works normally now.

Only on saloons / sedans and not the Cross or Sport Turismo (that was the query).

The query said non ST/CT.

I did try last night pushing the wiper control stalk but it doesn't push back . Mine is the saloon design, is it on the central console screen? what does it look like?

 

[CJW]

When in reverse, there is a little camera icon on the lower screen with a little spray pattern. No idea isf it's optional or region specific. It actually works decently now. I mist have tried it 50 times and now it seems to be working normally.
