Connection on washer pump

Post by Vodim »

I need to replace my washer pump (windshield) but all the new ones I find have another connection than my old one. Is it not possible to find original model?Image

That is different Rob
No one makes one with the exact same connector these days as that particular plug has been so long obsolete, most will use either bare spade terminals or some form of JPT connection, bare spade is easiest to change to, and since it is tucked up alongside chassis leg it is pretty well protected from the elements, insulate the new terminals and maybe be creative with some silicon RTV if you are worried about weather proofing it long term
The original VDO units were, like most of our van pretty well made, and last 30+ years - you might find a good used one but less and less vans left to break and peeps ask silly money for used parts on fleabay
