Default Replacement of Screen Washer Pump - PF (FL Similar?)

Guys,

Just replaced the screen wash (scoosher) pump on the PF D2.

Fairly easy process as detailed below (forgot to take pics again).

1 - Call A8Parts and get a new one
2 - Take cover off behind air box (screw near bulkhead)
3 - Take top off airbox
a - Loosen jubilee clip on air hose and disconnect
b - Undo the pipes to the front of the car
c - Undo the 4 screws and lift off
4 - Remove air filter (optional)
5 - Undo the two nuts at the top of the air box
6 - Remove air box by pulling forwards then upwards
7 - Remove trim under lights (screw inboard of headlight)
8 - Remove indicator (white clip at the back of the headlight) and disconnect the bulb holder to prevent it hanging against the car
9 - Pull the clip forward holding the power on & disconnect
10 - Pull the top of the unit forward while pushing the clip holding it in to the side
11 - Shout swear words as all the water comes ****ing out over you
12 - Undo clip holding the pipe on and remove
13 - Refit new unit by attaching pipe and fitting into washer bottle. Put the bottom in first at an angle then push the top hose back in.
14 - TEST! (You will need to put some more water in the bottle)
15 - Put it all back together in reverse of removal.
16 - Enjoy the ability to remove dirt from the windscreen without rain again

All-in-all, under 30 mins start to finish I reckon.
