One-valve windscreen washer pump?
Posted: Thu Jun 22, 2023 11:45 am
The screenwasher is inoperative. So I got a replacement check valve and pump from ESM. The new valve is in and an exact copy (photo) of the one it replaced, but still no screenwash.
The new pump (photo) seems to have no internal valve. Does the original pump have an internal valve? Any displacement pump should have two valves, inlet and outlet. So if the washer bottle valve is inlet, where is the other valve..
The reason I ask is that, in my set-up (photo), I have to remove the steering column, the glove box plus speedo to check the pump and tubing
