Title: Windscreen Washer Pump Mk5
Post by: adste89 on 07 January 2015, 21:54

Hi All,

New to the forum as I've just swapped my Renault Clio for a Mk5 Golf GT TDI.

The windscreen washer just stopped working on the front and back at the same time. I've checked the obvious, it has water (topped up also) and I've checked all the fuses. I've found a washer pump on eBay which I was going to try replacing but do you guys agree with this approach?

Can't access ebay at the moment.

But certainly, I would check the wiring to make it hasnt unplugged itself. If you can get a volt meter, and if you can access the loom, possibly checking to see if there is a voltage going to the pump before replacing it.

My 2 cents.
