Can this be done without taking the bumper off?  Me fears not 'cause I can't seem to access it even having removed the grill.

Quick question.  Are the pumps on the same fuse as the headlamp washers?

Greg

is yours not the same as mine,mines a 98 2.5. i took the connector off. the one on the left in the pic, then just pulled the pump out, bit stiff but quite easy, the grommet is in the hole.

I've got a huge air intake pipe in the way (I'm guessing that's what it is), so I can't reach the pump.  Mine's a '98 3.0 litre so I suppose it could be different to the 2.5.

Any ideas how I can remove this big pipe to access the washer pump?

Many thanks

Greg

Torx headed self tapper towards the top, I can just see mine with the grille still in place, then pull it off. It's just a push fit into the next bit of ducting back.

Thanks.  I will try tomorrow in the light.  Couldn't quite see where the ducting join was though or if it went into the wing?  So once the screw is out, should I just give it a tug and see?

I thinks so, I think I might have even just moved it up out of the way.

Help.  Had a look at the maintenance section but whilst I now know that the ducting is where the air intake starts, I still can't get to the back of it sufficiently to access the washer pump.

Any suggestions?

Greg

Ps Just seen the previous post so I will drag it out if need be.  Please do tell me if I shouldn't!

Took a while and a dodgy part bought off Ebay, supposedly genuine, it wasn't, but it's now working.  I managed to yank the air duct out of the way.  Bit of a fiddle and I couldn't have done it without you guys, so thank you.

Greg

BTW the problem was a seized washer pump!
