windshield washer pump.

Yeah neither of my VWs have working washer fluid pumps. The two I got from the junkyard don't work either. Sigh.

windshield washer pump.

You can test a washer pump as follows: 1) Remove the wiper supply hose from the pump 2) Connect a 6" piece of hose to the pump 3) Cover the temporary hose's opening with your thumb 4)Have someone activate the washer pump.

The pressure should pretty much be sufficient to push your thumb off the hose. If it's not very strong, it won't get liquid all the way up to the windshield.

I just replaced my washer motor on my 88 Jetta GLI with the one from my recently deceased 84 GLI, and it works great. Totally worth the extra effort.

Cheers!
