Just done mine , an easy job apart from the rubber grommet has disappeared to the screenwash reservoir and one of the retaining clips which are plastic just disintegrated.
Thank you. Dealer wanted $469. I did it for $32. Hardest part was disconnecting. I’m always afraid I’m going to break a tab and all I can hear in my head is my father saying, “DON’T FORCE IT!”
Just replaced my SEAT Leon 5F's washer pump. Useful video to follow along to! For my car the rear of the wheel liner didn't need to be removed which was a bonus
Is your pump still working? I think I bought the same brand pump for my Corsa in August. But it’s leaking on the blue colored part where the tubes are attached. We hadn’t realized it up until we refilled the tank 3x. It still is under warranty of 2-3 years, but we’ve been waiting for 3 weeks now for them to send a replacement.
Done in 30 minutes by removing the foglight grill fog light and horn MUCH easier and quicker My genuine pump lasted 15 years because i mixed 10% antifreeze with the screenwash
I am struggling with the 90 connector on the bottom!! I bought a new one but I can’t figure out the trick to setting it on and getting the black clip to properly seal around the connector. It’s the little white guy with the little black clip that goes around it. Can’t seem to get it to seal the liquid properly it just all keeps running out. I thought I had it at one point but I noticed a slow drip so I bumped it and it start leaking uncontrollably again until the fluid was gone above that point. This is so silly but I need it asap for inspection. Obviously the fluid can’t leak. Help. What was the trick?
Just like BMW. German engineers have destroyed the auto industry. In fact, the auto industry has destroyed the auto industry. At least from a DIY point of view. These A-holes don't want you to fix your own car.
thanks for the video! i successfully replaced this with an OEM pump that cost me $60. Who knows what a shop (or god forbid) dealer would have charged. You the man!
If VW, nothing is easy.😠 Check the fuse first. If not fuse, then probably pump. The fuse is under the "floor" area which supports the battery, and just forward of the battery. No need to remove the battery.
So much parts to remove to clean / change the pump! Why can't they make simple diy cars!!!! This makes me feel like a goat who is going to get butchered!!! High price of the car= high maintenance!!!
I just really dislike the kind of tubing they used for it. It breaks so darn easy, when some normal flexible tubing would have done the trick far better.
How to know which pump suits my car? Looking at Autodoc, there are 3 different pumps. Membrane, Single pump and Double Pump. I recognize that the double pump has the blue thing on it, just as in the video of yours.
On older cars like Fabia MK1 be careful because the connection likes to BREAK off (it did it to mine) it will still hold but theres a chance it will disconnect
Wow you do not need to remove the panel. There is a hole which is for access to the pump. You just need to pop off the cover. The job takes about 10 minutes
@@Dadadu16 there's a little square window on the bottom arch liner you can see in the video. I just noticed this myself when I seen this comment I'm glad I did as it's a pain in the dick stripping all that plastic out
Do it yourself price = under $30 Dealership price for this replacement / repair =$ B E N D O V E R but that includes the tax and remember just ask for Ben
