IMPORTANT - The pump he has shown is for VW Passat B6 WITHOUT headlight washer!! For the version with headlight washer, you have to dismantle the front bumper a bit to get to it - it is basically on the same space, but not accesible from the inside.
My pleasure, I am thrilled to learn you found it helpful. Here's a playlist of all my Passat DIYs in case you want to see other guides for the car. Thanks again for taking the time to watch and comment! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WP38zKrSjQI.html
Alan brilliant thanks, I thought I was going to have to replace bottle as leaking and take out from the top... Your video has helped me immensely 👍 Many thanks Johnny
That's exactly what I thought when I first got the leak but the pump does have a reputation to leak even when it is still working, so definitely evaluate the pump before taking the whole tank out. Thanks for your comment, it's motivating for me to continue making videos when hearing that my videos are helping people. Best of luck!
Thanks for watching and I hope it helped you fix your windshield washer. If you have a minute, subscribing really helps me out. Thank you for the support! www.youtube.com/@mldiy?sub_confirmation=1
This helped me a lot! I did everything on my passat B6 without taking off the wheel, I just removed the lower fender liner. In my case I also had to replace the fuse number 42, it can be found in the internal fuse box on the left side.
Awesome, I am so glad it helped you. Out of curiosity, had you already replaced the fuse and had it pop again before you replaced the washer pump? And does it seem like so far everything is good? It's interesting to hear you say that a bad pump popped the fuse. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I found that the fuse popped after I replaced the pump, the new one was not working as well. I tested the old pump with a 12V line and it's definitely dead @@mldiy
This only applies when you dont have headlight washers, because the tank with headlight washer has a different tank and the pumps can't be accessed from under the front wheel arch, instead, they are hidden behind the front bumper.
Any other videos you want to see with the B6 Passat with the EA113 engine? Leave a comment and let me know. Or if you want to see other VW Group DIY guides, here one for an Audi Q7: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kaVUV0-pMMg.html
The ID of the pump you listed was not the right one for my passat (2007 B6 2.0 TDI). In the future videos I recommend you research a bit more and list all the possibilities of parts. Because there is quite a number of different types of passat B6
Hi Ray, sorry it was the wrong part and thanks for taking the time to let me know. I genuinely thought it was the same. If you have the part number handy, I would love to update my description to correct my assumptions (and I will do so even if you don't respond, just figure I'd ask for help). I definitely don't want to spread bad info on the internet, so again, your comment is much appreciated.
(Second reply) ok, I'm not crazy. We didn't get the B6 TDI in the US, so the possibility of it using different parts just never came up in my research. I'm happy to add reference to it in my description though, but I can't even search parts for it easily here.
Hi! Very curious for more details. My understanding is the wagon/avant had the washer pump in the same location, except it uses a dual pump washer pump. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please do share, I'm here to learn!
