Are you having problems with the headlight washer pump? In this video, we will show you how to change it. First, remove the wheel after placing the car on a ramp. There are clips in the wheel arch; remove them with the appropriate tools.

Once removed, you will notice the connector of the washer pump; disconnect it. After this operation, proceed to extract the pump, being careful of any water spillage. Using the appropriate tool, disconnect the wires from the pump.

In the centre of your car's cross member, you will find a second pump; also disconnect the connector from it (apply slight pressure on the tab on the connector). Once these parts are removed, you will be able to install the new ones.
