How to replace the windshield washer pump on a Renault Clio III

Model: Renault Clio Clio 3, Clio III, MK 3 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Pump

Let's see how to change the windshield washer pump on the Renault Clio III: it is a common problem, the liquid comes out from the wheel arch instead of the nozzles on the hood, indicating a leak in a pipe or a malfunction of the pump. Access to the windshield washer components is done by removing the inner fender, composed of a front section and a rear section. The front section is fixed by 4 plastic clips and 2 bolts, which are located under the bumper and in the lower left part of the wheel arch. The rear section is fixed by 4 clips and 1 bolt. Here we must be very careful, because the brake line passes through this area; before completely removing the fender, make sure not to damage it. Check if the plastic tube is broken or disconnected, or if the pump is faulty. To repair the tube, simply cut the damaged part and insert a connector to join the two cut sections of the tube. If it is the pump that is not working, disconnect the electrical connectors and tubes to replace it. Reassemble the fender and adjust the nozzles, after filling the tank.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
