    Default Windscreen Washer Vy

    I was going thru this informative website in regards to replace my windscreen water pump motor, but couldnt find a write up or any information,
    I checked on ebay , like the moter is for $20 but when i looked in my engine bay i couldnt fine the washer motor ,


    Any idea where is it located and whats the procedure to pull the old one out and install a new one.

    thanks

    Its clipped into the side of the washer reservoir, under the passenger side front guard apron. You need to remove the inner guard apron to get at it easily. Just pull it out of the reservoir and watch out for the water that will want to hit you in the eyes. Un plug the wiring, plug on the new pump and push it back into place in the reservoir.

    Woops. Yeah, sorry, driver's side. (pulls head out of backside and thinks....)

    The plastic liner is clipped up with scrivets around the inner mudguard and a few self tappers around the wheelarch. You will need to jack the car up and remove the front DRIVER'S SIDE wheel to gain easy access to all the scrivets. The plastic liner is sort of forced into place, so you will need to pull it down from one end to get it out.

    Just in case I have this wrong, look up under the driver's side mudguard, right up the front and you will see the water reservoir - a large black plastic container. You might be able to see and remove the pump motor without having to do any other dismantling - I'm not sure, because I haven't had to do it on my VY, but on the VR I had, it was necessary to remove the inner liner and drop the reservoir.

    (I shall now go and see if I can find my memory - I left it here somewhere!)
