Vauxhall Opel Astra G Mk4 Windscreen Washer Motor Problem - SOLVED

Vauxhall Opel Astra G Mk4 Windscreen Washer Motor Problem. This windscreen washer motor wasn't working so I decided to remove it and see what the problem was. It turned out to be a failed motor and a blocked filter in the base of the washer bottle, I will need to remove the bottle in the near future but I need a quick fix as we were on a time deadline as we were going out.

A good mod for the astra g is to change the jets to the insignia ones as they do a mist spray

That filter in the washer bottle is the same on Vectra B & C's, Corsa C, D & E, Zafira A & B so far to the cars I have worked on for info, a little tip, change the spray nozzles to Insignia mist nozzles 😉

There's a filter in the bottle it gets clogged up. Common issue on Astra H too. I use Zoflora in the bottle with the screen wash helps kill the bacteria that builds up and causes the sludge and bad smell.

@wayne1959 3 жыл бұрын

in oz i always add a dash of dish liquid in my bottle..it keeps it clean and helps remove the bugs and makes the wipers run smoother..not much maybe a teaspoon or a bit less.

@VSTV1993 3 жыл бұрын

I had this same issue on my vectra (being blocked) took the filter out and blasted it from the top with a hose pipe and then reconnected it. I believe you can swap the jets for mist ones which are better and use less screen wash

You should have took the wheel off, take the rubber seal out and cut the filter off job done

@jouniinvelez7469 3 жыл бұрын

If you do that next you have the pump and then the nozzles blocked. At least with the filter you know the crap is always going to be in the same place. Lada Samaras used GM components in the 90s without the filter and the system was always blocked. I have a 1997 Corsa and the owner before me used normal water containing a lot of calcium and the filter saved the whole system.

@VSTV1993 3 жыл бұрын

You can't because not only will it break the pump with the crap but it's also a water seal so if you remove it, it will just leak

@berndb.5097 3 жыл бұрын

That would work very well at first, but as soon as dirt is pumped through, the next step is to clog the nozzles. Larger dirt particles then damage the pump. Believe me, the filter is better in the long run ;-)
