It's harder without liquid

A washer pump failure in the summer season will certainly not cause an interruption of the trip, but sooner or later it will have to be removed.

However, it may turn out that for this small device we will have to pay even a few hundred zlotys. But there is a cheaper option. It is enough to buy a universal pump or pick it up from another car.

The prices of many car parts can be dizzying because they are priced too high. This is the case in most cars with a washer pump, for which you have to pay even several hundred zlotys in an authorized service. For a small motor with blades in a plastic case, this is definitely a bit much. Harder without fluid

Fortunately, for most models you can buy a replacement, and if your car does not have one, then you can pick up a similar one from another model. The pumps, of course, differ from each other, have different lengths, shapes, nozzle diameters, but the differences are not so great that it is not possible to find a replacement.

For most cars, you can buy a replacement for half or even 20 percent. the price of the original while maintaining the same efficiency. In fact, the most important parameter is the diameter of the hole in the washer reservoir and, in case of a slight difference, it can be dealt with by installing another gasket. Slightly more fitting problems can be with a two-way pump that supports both the front and rear windows. But even in this case, the choice is so great, and the prices are low, that there should be no problems with choosing the right one.

Replacing the pump is not difficult, since the fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment and is easily accessible. Then you don't even have to take it apart and you don't even need any tools.

The problem can arise when the tank is filled under the bumper or wheel arch. Then the replacement is more difficult, because you have to remove the bumper or wheel arch. There is much more time, but this is not a particularly difficult task, it does not require sewerage, so if you have a general idea of \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbrenovation, then you can easily handle it and save a little.

If we bought the pump from another car, the plug will probably not fit. But this problem is also easy to deal with. All you need is a soldering iron and connectors.
