I think there all the same.

The ones for the zeons I think are different not sure though Halfords sell replacment stuff I think not sure if its the right size it looks it.

 

[Matt 16v]

thanks edd, so is there a seperate pump for the headlight washers then?

 

[Fred@BTM]

you'll have a laugh changing it!!!

i think its specific to the 172 due to the headlights

i thought i might, had a look the other night, why do they have to make it so hard to do! they must think there really funny wedging everything in, you need tiny hands to reach into the stupid spaces they leave for access

is it easier to remove the whole bottle, or will i be able to remove enough of the car that surrounds it to get close enough to it?

 

[Fred@BTM]

entire bottle has to some out

but you have to take the wipers and the wiper arms/motor out the way

:dapprove: no way, just to change a poxy motor for my window squirties! what a ball ache

is removing all that crap fairly straight forward...i guess not with it being renault??

up

Dead simple, but put some plus-gas on the wiper arm nuts 24 hrs before you start.

 

[Matt 16v]

will i be able to get a replacement motor from halfords etc, or will it need to be renault?

 

[BrianR]

I think Halfords keep a selection, its more a case of if they have stock.

The one motor does front and rear screens, it simply reverses for the rear screen.

The impeller blades are prone to breaking off, but sometimes its just the little filters that get blocked.

Worth checking before you spend any money.

thanks Brian, I'll check it out, its wierd it just suddenly stopped working, theres no sound or anything from the pump at all.

 

[BrianR]

I presume nothing else has stopped working.

It could be the impeller is jammed with some crystallised washer fluid, you might be lucky and be able to clean it out they just pull apart.

As you have to remove it anyway, its worth checking before replacing, you can always pop the panel and wipers back for a trip to town.

I think a replacement is about £19.

 

[Matt 16v]

everything else is still working fine, I'll try taking the motor apart and see how it goes before i splash out on a new one

thanks mate

just buy a new pump, mine was full of water (the motor) new pump = power washers, buy a new one.

 

[Matt 16v]
