Clean window glass is the key to the safety of driver and passengers during a trip. If you want perfect road visibility in rainy, foggy days and during snowfall, the vehicle must be equipped with a window washing system. On the windshield there is a wiper working with several velocities. In order to ensure a good visibility through the rear window, an additional wiper is required. Rear window washer is equipped with a liquid tank, located in the engine department. But a good cleaning result can be obtained only by sending a stream of liquid right onto the glass.

The washer pump itself is considered an integral part of the wiper system, which delivers equal quantities of washing liquid on the parts that need to be washed. Usually these are the windshield glass and headlights. Washer water pump is located under the left wing flap directly in the washer reservoir. If you want to remove the pump, you first have to demount the wing flap in the wheel niche on the left. Then you must disconnect the plug and the end of the hose, located on the pump. After that, turn the pump 90 degrees to the left, remove it from the holder. The installation of the water pump must be accomplished as a reversed procedure.

Sometimes the headlight washer pump suddenly breaks. This is due to the fact that corrosion jams the rotor, because the headlight washer pump is located in a very unfavorable place and is exposed to different weather conditions - water is seeping through stuffing boxes, as well as moisture from the bottom of the car.
