Windscreen Washer Pump

Does the same pump run the windscreen washers and the headlamp washers?

My windscreen washers aren't working but the headlamp washers are. The wipers go but no water gets sprayed. Is typically good timing as the MOT is due shortly.

No, a seperate pump... advice I was given on here re a sticky washer pump is to try flashing the electrical connections backwards - it worked for me on one I had once. Tref.

Completely different pump for the headlights. Much bigger and more pressure. They are a bugger to fit as well. Try Alasdair (sulzeruk) he may have one he can let you have.

Ok, I will give that a go. Will go back and have a look at what we have.

Just changed mine as my window wash failed, new pump (non-Porsche) was about £6 from a local motor factor. But can be a pain in the back-side to fit, had to take water bottle out and the under tray off. Two different pumps depending on age, one sits on the water bottle on a 'L' shape bit of tin the other pushes into the bottle, check the one you need. The push in type is about £6 the other about £15 with the 'L' bit.

Well the contacts look pretty manky so I am going to disconnect it and clean everything up , check the fuses and supply, if none of that works then it will be a replacement job, but looking at it it doesn't look fun - water bottle out job oh joy.
