Windscreen Washers

The windscreen washers have suddenly lost power & can only just reach the bottom of the windscreen ?

Hi

Does the rear jet work correctly?

This doesn't seem as powerful as before, I have also tried changing F3 fuse but it's just the same ?

Hi

thanks for checking.

Don't change any fuses.

Do replace the screen washer pump though, they are available here


It is tricky to get to because of its location as you can see in this post.


The single pump works both front and back so if front and rear are weak, it would most likely be the common factor - pump.

Hi thanks for the info, is the pump repairable or is it a sealed unit if so I will buy a new one.
Thanks for your help.

The pump is relatively cheap, particularly compared to the time it takes to access it.

Well worth fitting new. It is not worth the hassle of opening it up, replacing the worn internal parts (if you could even find them) and putting it back together.

Your car is listed as a 2002 model, so the pump could be up to 20 years old anyway.

You also contradict the model you chose at registration and picked a 2016 year car, so no one one can second guess which pump you need.

The picture I posted was from the model you chose at registration (2002-2005).

Thanks for your reply, the car is a 2016 (65) model but that option was not given, I'll purchase a new pump from the link you give me.
Thanks once again for your help.

Check the listing that it is compatible with your year.

There are options to select the correct model for the year you have in the CAR BIO section and at registration. You can look in my signature for the car bio link to select the correct model for the year to avoid further confusion.

The new pump arrived today & I replaced it in about 40 mins ! not bad as I've never done it before !
The video I watched was a great help as I didn't know that the front offside wheel had to come of as well as the plastic wheel arch cover ! only thing it didn't say was the plastic plugs that hold it in place have a release catch on top & once you lift that the plugs come straight out.
Well pleased with myself as I'm 73 now & it's been a long long time since I worked on a car !
Thanks again for the very helpful information.
