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

Model: Renault Clio MK 3, Clio 3, Clio III - 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.
