Washer stalk - not working properly - ideas?
Hi all. The function to wash the windscreen in my car isn’t working very well. I have to pull on the stalk quite hard and it’s still hit and miss. I’ve had a good Google and can’t find anything specific to this issue.
Do I need to replace the whole mechanism or can it be fixed? |

I was assuming that there is some sort of contact in there which might be work out?? |

I have a couple of switches for estates, don't think I have a saloon one.

How hard are they to fit? Seen instructions which suggest airbag and wheel need removing and some that say you can do it without removing them.

Then it's two screws and a plug or two on the switch to remove, Haynes it to refit. |
Ordered a new one off eBay (2nd hand) so will have a go at putting it on!

Update - new washer wiper stalk sourced from eBay for £8 posted - I didn’t even think a saloon one would be different from an estate (no rear wash wipe!) but thankfully I got the right one.
Was easy to remove the shroud first, then the 2 bolts holding the stalk were a bit tricky but I have a low profile ratchet set I used for cycle maintenance that fitted into the small gap fine - replaced and working again in 10mins. Thanks for the help all! |
