Nobody likes to drive a car with a dirty windshield. It happens that on the Passat B5 2001 the windshield washers refuse to work, which makes it impossible to clear the glass of dirt. In this case, you should immediately look for the cause of the phenomenon and fix the breakdown. After all, a windshield that is not cleaned of dirt can lead to limited visibility and emergency situations.

Installation of windshield washers on the Passat B5

It is necessary to understand how the system for cleaning glass from dirt works. To do this, open the hood and find the washer reservoir. Next to it are the remaining components of the windshield wiper system.

Replacing the washer nozzle

The first place to start with this system is the injectors. They are the ones who supply the windshield cleaning fluid to the windshield. Then you will see a reservoir with a capacity of up to 5 liters, which contains washer fluid.

The next element is a pump installed on a tank with liquid. It is designed to create the necessary pressure to spray liquid. The most primitive centrifugal pump. You will also see the pipes through which this liquid flows to the elements of the system.

If on a Skoda the washer sprays on the windshield with a delay after the wipers

— the washer does not reach the rear window; — inconvenient washer cover — what to do; — the washer reservoir motor does not work; — the washer fluid reservoir burst — part numbers;

The washer does not reach the rear window

If the washer does not reach the rear window, the motor works, but does not spray. What could it be and what should I do?

1. If it splashes on the front, but does not flow back, then there is a break somewhere. The break may be under the front panel. In this case, water will flow onto the front passenger's carpet. 2. The hose that goes from the wiper motor to the nozzle may dangle.

Easy to check. Open the wiper cover. Pull out the nozzle and spray. If everything is normal and the washer sprays upward pressure, it means the nozzle is clogged. Clean it with a needle or something thin. If it doesn’t splash, then the tube has fallen off. Most often in the area of ​​the left wing under the skin.

The washer fluid reservoir motor does not work

If you start it, pull the handle towards you, the wipers wave once and that’s it - it’s as if the liquid has frozen. Place the car in a warm garage and everything will work.

The washer reservoir burst - part numbers - Skoda Octavia A5

If the washer fluid reservoir bursts, and you have a 3.5-liter one without a sensor, check it carefully. They can bring another one for 5.5 liters and with a hole for the sensor and for the second motor, which goes to the headlights.

Catalog number of the 3.5-liter tank: washer system tank - 1K0 955 453 S

Plug for the hole in the washer reservoir - VAG 8E0 955 465 A Set of electrical wires - 000 979 009 EA Electrical wiring connector - 000 979 133 E Connector housing - 1J0 973 202 O-ring for headlight washer pump - 431 955 465 A Seal ring thread — 444 955 647 Level sensor windshield washer fluid reservoir - 7M0 919 376 O-ring - 7M0 919 382

Inconvenient washer cover for Skoda A5 - how to do it

Many owners of Skoda A5 and A7 have probably encountered the fact that it is not convenient to fill the glass with washer fluid. The lid, which when you open the neck, constantly closes and there are not enough hands to hold it and pour liquid. After struggling with this cover for the first time on the Internet, I found a solution.

Shown in the photo. Just turn it to the side and tuck it slightly under the wing, and that's it, it doesn't cover the neck.

The washer sprays onto the windshield with a delay after the wipers

The problem occurs, as it turns out, not only in Skodas - geldings, Chevrolets, and Citras have joined these ranks. If it’s the same for you, you press the washer lever, first the wipers work, and then the washer sprays, then this will come in handy:

— step-by-step photo report of problem solving from a fellow clubber with nuances; - video of the result - how the washer now splashes, - video report from the driver; — an important nuance for owners of the Elegance configuration;

So, we advance the supply of fluid to the windshield before the wipers start working - replacing the position of the contacts of the washer pump in places.

The main thing is to remove the negative terminal of the battery before starting work! Otherwise, when rearranging the contacts, a short circuit may occur!

1. Remove the fog lamp unit. You can see the barrel and washer pump in the distance.

2. Carefully grasp the pump outlet fitting and rotate it clockwise by 40 degrees. This is necessary in order to free the connector for removal (in the working position it fits snugly against the wall of the barrel). We remove the connector.

3. Next, remove the retaining ring (help inside the connector with a thin screwdriver).

4. Next you need a women's hairpin. The previous photo shows the holes at the top and bottom of the contacts.

5. Insert a pin into these holes, push it all the way (you can hear a dull click and feel it with your hands) and pull the wire from the back of the connector. It comes out easily.

6. That's it, I swapped the contacts. The connector was inserted into the pump, the pump was returned to its operating position. The headlight was inserted.

Don't forget to put the retaining ring back into the connector.

Let's look at the result.

Important! For owners of the Elegance package (rear window wiper included).

This procedure will take you a little longer. You have a completely different pump, it is reversible. And when the polarity changes, when you press the spray on the windshield, it will splash on the rear and vice versa. The solution was posted by Vladimir: Here is a quote from the Octaviavodov Club website.

Message from Vladimir:

“Thank you to all enthusiasts and altruists for the information. The operation of the washer was really annoying. Everything was “organized competently” point by point:

1. changed the polarity in the motor (you don’t need to remove it for this) 2. swapped the tubes on the motor (here I had to get it out. The remaining liquid flows out) 3. I decided not to install the valve, since I was satisfied with the result achieved at stage 2.

Now, when you press the lever for the first time, the fluid flows, although with a delay, but noticeably more intensely and ahead of the wipers. When pressed again, it sprays instantly. However, the pressure on the rear washer has weakened. Yes, in my opinion, liquid is not needed there. The glass is always clean.

Guys, who has what equipment and year of manufacture of the car - write, are there problems with the washer delay or not?

Why the windshield washers don't work on the Passat

The windshield washers of the Passat B5 2001 do not work for various reasons. It is necessary to pay attention to what time of year the problem occurred. These reasons are different for winter and summer.

• The first reason is the lack of windshield cleaning fluid in the reservoir. But the Passat is equipped with a special signaling device, which is located on the dashboard. When this indicator lights up, you should add washer fluid to the reservoir.
• The next reason is a violation of the connection of the pipes. The tubes could become disconnected due to vibration or impacts on rough roads. In this case, the liquid does not reach the nozzles.
• Using low-quality fluid can also lead to windshield washer failure. Over time, the injectors become clogged with small debris and stop functioning normally.
• In winter, windshield wiper fluid could freeze in the system. To eliminate the problem, you must leave the car in a warm place. The system will thaw and work as before.
• Electrical wiring, or rather a fuse. It's easy to check. Turn on the wipers: if they work, it's not the fuse. There is one fuse for the pump and brush motor.
• If all else fails, then you should check the centrifugal pump that pumps the liquid. To do this, you need to listen to the sound of its work. If you don’t hear anything, it’s possible that the motor has burned out and become unusable. You should also check the electric motor connection terminal, which is located in an area of ​​high humidity, which can cause it to oxidize.

Windshield wiper fluid is frozen

The windshield washer does not work on the Passat B6 for the same reasons as on the B5. The design of B5, B6 and B3 is slightly different, the principle remains the same. But when the Passat CC windshield washer does not work, the causes of the malfunction and the methods for eliminating them will be different.

Mechanical reasons for the malfunction of the windshield washer of the VAZ 2114.

Reason 1: sand or dirt gets in, and, as a result, the windshield wiper pipe becomes clogged.

Solution: remove and blow out the washer fluid pipes. Note that for preventive purposes, it is important to fill the washer fluid into the tank through a special mesh filter; this will protect both the fluid from getting contaminants into it at the time of filling, and the pump from the possibility of jamming.

Reason 2 - the tank has run out of windshield washer fluid.

The solution to the problem is very simple - just pour washer fluid or water into the tank (note that at sub-zero temperatures plain water cannot be used).

Reason 3 - clogged windshield wiper nozzles (nozzles).

Solution to the issue: cleaning the holes of the windshield wiper nozzles using a thin needle.

Reason 4 – the washer fluid has frozen.

If liquid that is inappropriate for weather conditions is poured into the tank, it may freeze in the pipes and the tank itself. If there are no special heaters, then you need to put the car in a warm garage and thereby solve this problem (the liquid will freeze), more details.

Reason 5 - rupture of the pressure main pipeline.

It can occur if the nozzles are clogged with debris or small stones, since such circumstances can lead to the formation of excess pressure inside the system, which, in turn, leads to rupture.

Solution to the problem: find the rupture and repair it - replacing part of the worn pipeline using special conductors.

Reason 6 - the hose has come off the feed pump.

Solution: installing a hose on the pump and then tightening it with a clamp.

Reason 7 – a crushed hose supplying washer fluid to the injectors.

Solution to the issue: Most often this happens due to the incorrect transition of the hose on the hood to the windshield wiper nozzles. Find the location of the bend and eliminate it.

How to remove the washer reservoir on the Passat B5

In order to remove the Volkswagen Passat B5 washer reservoir, you need to remove the bumper and unscrew the fastening of the reservoir itself (2 bolts on top). We remove the wheel and headlight, not forgetting about the fender liner, which also needs to be removed so that you can see 2 more bolts to which the tank is screwed.

Then you should unscrew the intercooler bracket, where another mount for the washer reservoir will open.

Remove the car's tank with little effort. Watch the video showing how to remove the Passat B5 washer reservoir in the video.

Replacing the windshield washer nozzle

It often happens that the windshield washer nozzles on the Passat B5 become clogged with small debris and stop spraying liquid, or they spray, but very poorly. It is impossible to clean them in place where they stand, so they have to be dismantled.

Windshield washer nozzles on Passat B5

First, we find the location of the Volkswagen windshield washer nozzles. This is not difficult, but it requires initial repair skills from the car owner. If you can't find it, watch the video:

Disconnect the washer fluid supply system from the hood. It has latches and can be easily removed. Unfasten the injectors from the bottom of the hood, they are held on by quick-release latches, so there should be no problems. That's the whole procedure for removing the injectors. Installing new nozzles is done in the reverse order.

The glass washer on the VAZ does not work

The front window washer, like the windshield wiper, is a very important device that directly affects traffic safety. Therefore, it is important to know about its malfunctions and be able to quickly eliminate them.

To understand why a windshield washer may not work, you need to know how it works in general. The connection diagram for this device is simple: a wire runs from the fuse box to the steering column switch. When the switch is pressed (classic version), voltage is supplied through another wire to the washer pump, and the third wire connects this pump to ground. The pump is installed directly on the washer fluid reservoir and supplies this fluid through flexible tubes to the nozzles. Nozzles with one or more holes spray liquid onto the glass. Actually, that's the whole scheme.

Due to the simplicity of this system, its malfunctions are also primitive.

Windshield washer does not turn on

When you press the corresponding steering column switch from under the hood and you cannot hear the pump whirring, the first thing to do is check the fuse. Moreover, often this can be done instantly by simply turning on the windshield wiper. As a rule, the glass washer is connected to it through the same fuse, so if the wipers do not work, it means the fuse has blown. If the wipers on your car are on a separate fuse, then you need to directly verify the integrity of the fuse. It is also worth making sure that the fuse has reliable contact with its socket in the mounting block.

Replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same rating, and if the new one also burns out, then there is a short circuit in the car wiring. Moreover, if the fuse burns out when the washer is turned on, then the short circuit must be looked for in the pump power circuit.

If the fuse is intact, then you need to make sure that voltage is supplied to the washer pump. With the steering column switch in the appropriate position, check for voltage on both wires leading to the pump. One of them must have a “+”.

The absence of voltage indicates a faulty steering column switch or broken wires in the sections “fuse box - steering column switch” or “steering column switch - washer pump”.

If power is supplied to the pump normally, it is worth checking the ground. To do this, connect the “mass” wire of the washer (the one that is connected to the terminal marked on the pump body with the sign “—”) with the positive terminal of the battery through a control light
(.). If you just connect with a wire, a short circuit will occur !
“Control” in this case will be the consumer who will save you from the “short man”. If the light comes on, it means there is a ground and the pump needs to be replaced. The washer pump can burn out from old age or from a wedge of ice during a freeze. It often happens that the driver did not have time to replace the water with non-freezing liquid and the water froze. When the washer pump is turned on, its rotor becomes jammed with ice and the motor winding burns out.

The washer turns on, but the water does not spray

There are situations when the pump hums, but water does not flow to the glass. The most commonplace version of such a “malfunction” is a lack of fluid in the tank. But there are even more complex problems, for example, frozen injectors. In winter, snow and ice can stick to them; in the fall, water can flow inside the holes and freeze there.

Replacing the windshield washer pump

It happens that on a Volkswagen Passat B5 it is necessary to replace a faulty washer pump.

To remove this pump:

1. Open the hood.
2. Locate the pump on the washer reservoir.
3. Disconnect the power connector from the pump and the pipes through which it pumps liquid.
4. Take out the pump itself.

If it breaks, replace it with a new one and install it in the reverse order.

Windshield washer does not work: causes and solutions to the problem

Each element of the car must work efficiently, otherwise operating the car will be quite a difficult task. Many people underestimate such a vehicle component as the washer and the entire windshield washing system, including the wiper. Without the working mechanisms of this unit, it is difficult to imagine operating a car in wet weather. That is why it is best to maintain the washer in working condition and avoid any breakdowns. Otherwise, splashes from the wheels of other cars, as well as rain and snow, will become insurmountable obstacles to your trip.

It often happens that the washer breaks down in the middle of the journey. If the road is wet and cars in traffic splash your car with mud, it is better to stop using it until the problem is corrected. It is often even easier and cheaper to call a tow truck and transport the car to a service station than to try to get to a service station without normal visibility. It is almost impossible to foresee such a breakdown.

The main causes of windshield washer problems

It is necessary to distinguish between the washer system and the wipers. If the windshield wiper blades are operating, driving is possible in wet weather, but dirt will be carried across the glass and can create scratches on the surface. When it rains, only wipers are needed for a normal trip. But if the weather is not too wet, and dirt is still rising from the road, you need a high-quality washer that performs all its functions.

In domestic cars, the system often breaks down in the area of ​​the washer reservoir or the motor that pumps liquid to the nozzles. The outlet tube is attached to the motor using a plastic transition, which tends to break. If this unit breaks down, you will have to replace the entire motor; there is no point in gluing and restoring the old unit. Common problems associated with the washer system on any car are as follows:

• rupture of the hoses through which the liquid flows to the sprayers for cleaning the windshield;
• pinching of hoses and lack of normal fluid supply for the functioning of the system;
• a crack in the washer reservoir, due to which all the liquid disappears within seconds after filling;
• poor quality or loose attachment of the hose to the tank, motor or injectors;
• clogged nozzles, which are used to spray liquid directly onto the windshield;
• failure of the motor and cessation of the flow of liquid under pressure for its normal spraying.
