Stay calm because changing the windshield washer pump on your Opel Vivaro A is not complicated but it requires a bit of patience. Disconnect the battery for safety, then you need to find the pump, it is attached to the windshield washer fluid tank usually near the front wheel arch.

Remove the wheel arch or the protection under the bumper to reach it better. Then disconnect the electrical connector and the hoses, be careful as you may lose some water.

The pump should come off by pulling or slightly rotating it. Take the new one, insert it properly, reconnect everything and reassemble the removed parts. Fill the tank, try to make it work and, if everything goes well, you have done a great job. If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, contact a trusted workshop.
