Hi all , washers have packed up , the pump is making its normal noise , I disconnected the water pipe at the side of the bonnet , no water coming through when washers were tried , any advice as to where / how to fix or where to look next ? No water being dumped on the floor , when washers are tried, where is the pump situated and how do I get to it please, mechanic across the road owes me a favour so said he would have a look tommorrow , any help would be as ever much appreciatted.

Take care

Dave

if I remember correct down the grill inside the bumper more close to the passenger side .. mine was donald and changed.. but check the water line for blocking..

Not surprisingly, the washer pump sits in the side of the washer bottle,   The bottle is behind your grille, couple of self tappers at the top and it pulls up & off. As described here before, if you can hear the pump running but no water out of the jets, it's likely to be a gunged up filter that the pump is sucking from. Pull the pump sides ways to clear the bottle & then upwards off the grommet/strainer, remove strainer & washer it. Re-assemble & you'll be sorted.

sadly strainer / grommet thing had perished and is now lurking somewhere in the fluid bottle , bought new one today from Vauxhall and job completed, car is booked in tommorrow for the auto fluid to be changed so I think thats all the maitenance now till the MOT in July , as always thanks for all the help and advice chaps.

take care
