About Screen Washer Motor
The screenwasher motor is an electrical mechanism that activates a pump which will cause screenwash to be fed to the screenwash jets situated just below the windscreen. In most cases the screenwash motor and pump are enclosed in one unit that is situated with the screenwash reservoir in the engine compartment. Occasionally the motor and pump are two separate units. The screenwash motor is activated by a stick-lever usually found on the steering column.
If the motor fails to operate this could be due to a blown fuse, a poor earth return or corrosion to the terminals, or the motor itself is faulty. If the motor needs replacing it is advisable to also fit a new non-return valve and filter in the reservoir. If the motor is operating properly but no screenwash appears from the screenwash jets it’s possible that there is a blockage or debris in the filter of the pump or in the jet nozzles. To check whether the pump is operating it’s normal to hear a whirring noise from the reservoir area when the stick-lever is pushed. This should mean both motor and pump are working correctly.
If replacing a broken motor with one that is not an exact replica it may be possible to bypass the old motor and fit the replacement with a new mounting.
Vauxhall Zafira trivia
- If you buy a Zafira today, you get the option of three different engine types. Customers can choose from the 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine, the 1.6-litre diesel, and the 2.0-litre diesel. All three come with manual gears, but you do have the option of an automatic if you opt for one of the two bigger engine types.
- If you bought a brand new Vauxhall Zafira 1.6 16v when it was released in January 2020, it would only have cost £14,320. That's about the same price as its main rival, the Astra estate.
- The second-generation Zafira, launched in 2006, ended being the 10th best selling car in Britain. It was the first time that a people carrier (or MPV) was included in the UK's top sellers.
- One of the members of pop band Hear' Say almost died in a Zafira! Danny Foster narrowly escaped injury when the car was engulfed in flames.
- Bono owned a diesel Zafira, and he once accidentally left it for Jeremey Clarkson to drive. The Irish singer intended to leave an M6 convertible for Clarkson to race around in, but the person with the keys misunderstood. However, Clarkson called the Zafira more comfortable than a Rolls Royce Phantom and ranked it in his Top 10 of 2015/16 list for The Sunday Times. The Zafira got a 5/5 rating.
