Hey Gurus,
I like repairing things instead of replacing them whenever possible. Rather than spending $190 with the usual suspects for a new repro 5-port washer pump, I was able to rebuild my original pump to as good or better than new. I cobbled together parts from 2 rebuild kits for 3-port pumps that are cheap and readily available at NAPA (and elsewhere) and an assortment pack of O-rings from Home Depot. Lastly, a new hose kit - and a good cleaning of the pick-up screen in the washer fluid bag (A/C car), and for the first time since I've owned this car, the windshield washer works! Less than $30, not including Beer.

Glad you got it done for that Mark.
No project can be done easily without beer. |
