Testing the windshield washer in our 1970 914-6. When I pull the wiper / washer lever I can hear a slight thud or click and then the wipers cycle. I have confirmed the noise is the electric pump as I can feel it move slightly if I put my hand on it while someone else pulls the lever. Does that mean the pump is good, or does a good working pump make a different noise?
I've been through many threads about the squirters not working, but haven't found much discussion about the electric pump itself. Thanks. |

Nice video. The grease you used will wind up in the hoses and on the windscreen, but the washer fluid should dilute it soon enough. Might get a smear initially.
Great save. |
