Introduction

Here I show you how to change the windshield washer pump without having to disassemble the entire Saxo!

Prerequisites

  1. 1 Bucket/basin to collect the windshield washer fluid remaining in the reservoir
  2. A basic tool kit for removing the mudguard
  3. A jack to facilitate tank removal (optional)
  4. New plastic rivets to replace the 5 holding the mudguard.
  1. 
Let's start by turning the wheels completely to the right. To have maximum visibility for disassembly.

Photo 1 : We can now lift the right front of the car, just enough to get the tank under the bumper.

Photo 2 : We remove the mudguard.

    • Photo 3 : There is an Allen type screw underneath (photo 3). And several clips to remove all around the wheel.

    • Do not force the mudguard too much, it remains a fragile part.

  2. 
We can now see the tank with the pump.

Prepare the bucket under the tank

    • Prepare the bucket under the tank

    • Photo 2 : To remove the tank, remember to remove the hook

    • Photo 3 : We pour the liquid into the bucket, to collect it or throw it away. Given the color of mine, I threw it away.

    • Unclip the electrical inlet and remove the 2 pipes (pull on them a little)

  3. 
Photo 1 : Now that we have isolated the tank we will remove the pump by pulling the upper part towards us.

Photo 2 : If the seal comes with the pump, remove it and replace it at the tank opening.

Photo 3 : Insert the new pump, applying pressure until the "ribbed" part of the new pump is no longer visible.

    • We can reassemble the tank and test that it works properly before putting everything back together. If it works, we put the rest back together and that's it!
