Replacing windscreen washer pump
Hi peeps,
I have been searching how to replace the wind screen washer pump, but can't find the answer I need. Can anyone here please advise me how to replace the this part? I have tried from the top, under the bonnet, but can't get to it. My mechanic had a quick look for me (as a favour) and removed the offside wheel and arch liner. Still can't get to it and he now thinks that maybe the bumper needs to come off for access. Is this right? Any advice would be great! Thanks Yas

Did you have to remove the headlight to lift the bottle up for access?
Just curious...

No - never disturbed the headlamp. the bottle comes up at an angle and needs to be rotated slightly

Are the PF and FL different? I had my PF washer pump replaced and I don't remember the garage saying it was much of a job, they certainly didn't charge me much labour. In fact I had that same pump replaced under warranty by an Audi main dealer and they didn't make a fuss either, I certainly don't remember the bumper being removed.
I borrowed this that Adrian previously shared, confirms what Mike said to a degree

When mine was accessed to resolve a poor connection the bumper defo stayed on - all done through the wheel arch but may have involved a bit of jiggling about to gain access.
Always worth remembering that a mechanic is potentially going to apply more force than a punter would on their own car lol

Just had the same job done as Adrian, but the garage removed the headlight for access

Same here. Had a bad connection down there too a few months ago and got a mechanic friend to sort it out for me. When I asked him if it was difficult to get to he said "no, we just popped the headlight out".

Hi guys,
Thanks for the helpful replies and Norretal for the pdf attachment, this will be useful. I'm assuming that PF and FL won't be any different?
