How to change washer fluid pump


Supra-Brett

Recommended Posts

Ok, i have a replacement one for my old knackered one which the garaged diagnosed when it was in for a service.

 

For once i might have a go at fitting something myself - it cant be that hard after looking at the pump itself ?.

 

For starters i need to know where it is located :D I think its in the passenger side front wing type area.

 

Can anyone advise

 

1) where its located

 

2) What tools i need to complete thee job

 

3) How hard the job is for a reletive novice

 

4) Provide a "how to" guide

 

Thanks

Job done, looks like a piece of piss once you get in there bud. Couple of plugs and pipes etc.

 

Wow sounds easy, is the pump attatched via any screws ? it doesnt seem to have any holes for attachment other than the hose`s ?

I can't remember specifically but i don't remember anything. I didn't actually strip it down, i just took it out the way while i was working on the suspension :)

Scott's right, it's just a few hoses to pull off and pull the pump off the reservoir.

 

One think I would make sure you have is the little rubber seal on the pump itself! This is prone to perish so the old one may crumble/break when you take the knackered pump off. Without this rubber seal/o-ring it won't make a perfect fit.

 

Found this out when I had to replace mine... and I bought a pump off a breakers/trader and the seal wasn't on there, I guess because it too had perished :(
