okay lets start at the start,

I removed the standard washer bottle from my Mk3 (Mk2f) Polo.

I replaced it with a tudour item for a classic car where my charcoal canister used to be. Front offside, just behind the headlight.

I enlarged the hole in the top of the bottles cap. fitted the grommet from the vw washer bottle.

Then fitted the standard twin out let pump and attached a piece of pipe to it so it could get to the bottom of the water

filled it up

connected up the wiring and plumbing

But ( here we go) when i pull back on the wiper stalk for the ould quick squirt and wipe treatment i get nothing. I've tried holding it down for a good minute but thought that wouldn't the pump any good.

It did squirt twice, but that was it and now i cant get it to squirt anymore.

It worked perfect before i went 'at it'

does the bottom of the vw pump have to be submerged to work?

Am I missing something

any help please

It doesn't work at something like 5km after manufacture. Keeps hippies happy.

Is the pump actually running? Get someone to press the button and you can hold the pump, see if you can feel it working..

Then check the ground is good, and the live is becoming live when the switch is on.. Then it tells you if the pump is fecked..
