Clio MK2 2005 washer pump problem (I have 2)

[Skuggan91]

Hello!

My washer pump (s) are running but no fluid so I figured I need to change both but right now I just need to pass the MOT for the front and rear windows one.

I just realised I have two pumps and also they seem to be side mounted into the fluid container and not the ones that you can just drag up. Lucky me, always get the trickier versions. How do I even dismount and mount these in without having to lift the entire fluid container out and which one is for the headlights only?

Such a pain in the ….

Have you tried disconnecting the hoses to check they're not blocked first?

Yeah I did check and went and blew and felt air coming through. But it seems like I have to remove the whole fluid container to switch the pumps on this car?

iirc I had to remove the wiper mechanism to get it washer bottle out.

Seems like I have to do that, buying another pump so I can change both if I’m going to do operation. Seem like it’s not as easy as the single pump Clios without the headlamp washers.
