accessing the windscreen washer system pump

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Its been rather quiet in here lately, I could only hope its because our SA buses are still kicking it trouble free.

Quick one, how do I access the windscreen washer system pump ? from the front or from the inside of the van, and if from inside, does the dash have to come off ?

Mine wont pump up any juice

	Clean the contact on the switch first, if that fails undo the bolts holding the bottle on the underside of the van, the pump simply pulls out of the bottle.

	You were right Jason, Once I scraped the switch contacts, the pump sprung to life. Problem is, the juice pours down the footwell from somewhere behind the dash instead of going to the wipers. Does the dash have to come off ? am I looking at a disconnected pipe or a blockage ? Any ideas/experiences are welcome.

	The washer jets remove with a 90degree twist. If the pipes come adrift then it's fishing time!
