Porschevirgin1968 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Afternoon all, first glorious day to get the car out and the roof down and my windcsreen washers decide to pack up, anyone know which fuse it is forst off, before I start throwing money at it! I did get the car out and the roof down also cleaned up the front lights, now look like new. So the fun begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenman986s Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Anything else not working? if not, unlikely to be a fuse. Any power the washer pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobbie Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 When mine stopped working it was because a connector had split under the hood and water was just squirting out there just behind the battery. Can you hear the motor whirring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Daniel Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Sometimes mixing Porsche screen wash and other brands together causes it to solidify. You will need to get the pump out and check if its full of gunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't hear the pump, headlight washers have stopped too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porschevirgin1968 Posted March 24 Author Report Share Posted March 24 (edited) It is losing all the water out the waster bottle somewhere, yes I filled it up lol. Edited March 24 by Porschevirgin1968 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porschevirgin1968 Posted March 24 Author Report Share Posted March 24 It did flash up with a message the last time I was in the car saying wiper sensor fault, I have the auto wipers. Wipers work fine but no washers for headlights or to windscreen. I'm guessing it's strip down. The car that is 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman42 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 (edited) I read that it's a fairly common problem and easy to swap out the pump. The challenge is that its located at the back of the front wing behind the inner wheel arch. Quite a few guides online on how to replace.

Funnily enough just googled it, let's hope it stays dry cause I can't work on the car in the garage it's too tight, I'm off work all week, so fingers crossed it stays dry.

You have two pumps, one for the windscreen and one of the headlights AFAIK. I have stripped a couple down on 987's but I am more of a 986 guy. If neither pump can be heard, it will be electrical. Don't forget though that the lights have to be on I think for the headlight washer system to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've tried with the headlights on, my old Z4 had headlamp washers they only worked every 3rd time you used the normal washers and headlights had to be on. Will have a look around tomorrow, today the weather was just too good not to get out and drive with the roof down and listen to that sports exhaust when it hits over 4k revs 😁.

Bike Loon Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Dunno about the 987.1 but on the 987.2 there is a switch on the underside of the wiper stalk to work the headlight washers instantly rather than wait for the 10th pull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headlight washers working 👍, 1 down 1 to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
