Screenwash pump

[mickl]

think the pump on the for the screenwash might be on it's way out on mine as it's firing the water out in a dribble.

Does anyone have the part number and price for one on a W202 C36?

Before replacing the pump, check for airleaks/bad connections mate. Also blocked jets will give the same results.

I agree with Brian, check to make sure that your tubes haven't been blocked with any crud. When I first got my current car the right hand side jet of the right washer was blocked, i.e. the one that squirts the driver's area of the windscreen. Took me ages to un-block it.

I also had a similar problem on my old Peugeot 504 but in that case it was easy to swap pipes on the washer pump to suck all the crap out of the tubes and back into the fluid bottle.

all four yets are squirting the water with the power of a leaking water pistol. They give a good initial blast, it then can barely reach 4inches high on the glass.

I assume the bottle feeds to one main pipe then splits out into four when it reaches the nozzles?

Also check flow through the non-return valves which stop the water in the pipes running back to the bottle. Have replaced these on quite a few non-MB cars.

Some screenwashes turn into a gooey sludge that blocks the filter on the pump, drain the bottle and clean the filter first.
