Windscreen Washer Pump C5 Hdi (110Bhp)

Post by jmd »

Having failed it's NCT (MOT) because the washer pump was not working . I decided to investigate the problem. I find two separate components are plugged into the windscreen water tank. One has three wires connected into it - no tubes connected, am I correct in thinking that this is the warning switch for low water level. The other is to the front of the tank, and seems to have one wire going into the connector to which two small tubes are connected. Am I correct in saying that this (the latter) is the pump.

Yes that sounds right, the latter one is the pump.

Thanks Steve. Is there any easy way of doing this pump replacement, without removing the front bumper ?

Not as far as I am aware. Mine needs doing as it won't wash the tailgate screen.

I had the bumper off to sort the headlight out as I had dropped the retaining clip and a bulb, had to extract the headlight to get them out - except they were already gone*, had to buy a new clip.

Getting the bumper off is not as bad as it might first appear.


*been driving the car for two years after losing the clip but it failed it's second MOT as the bulb was loose and couldn't be properly aligned.
