pete3000 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Any ideas for a fix? the voltage is getting to the washer pump and the interior lights are dimming slightly so it's taking current etc. Think the shaft is seized although it worked fine a week back. Where to buy in around Redditch who open at 8am? do Halfords keep them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Swap it for the rear washer pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tal Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 It could just be gunged up in the impeller, if you take it off and clear it with a jet from a hose pipe or take the impeller out and clean it up it should work again, (aquarium pumps do the same thing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Don't have a rear wash wipe, did consider borrowing one from p38 but no sure way to see if it is same part. Hoping MJA have one in as they open at 8am, fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Tal yeah had considered taking it out and blasting it with wd40 or a jet of water and trying to spin up the impeller. But I'll probably lose 5L of screenwash once pump is pulled and knowing my luck break something else in the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Just bluff it and say it worked yesterday. .. . Doubt it'd fail simply due to that..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete3000 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Lol, thanks. well due to the drive down there or good luck i had a miniscule amount of screen wash out of old pump. I tried MJA who open at 8 and were very helpful and could have me an express part by lunchtime. I then tried mm4x4 and they luckily opened at 0830 and had one in stock, which mean with warp drive enabled (downhill most of way) i managed to get there with a couple of minutes to spare with the new part ready to go on. The good news is it Passed = clean sheet. Not bad as she's 30 years old this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
