Removing and installing windshield and tailgate glass washer
To remove and install the windshield window washer and tailgate glass washer on an Opel Astra, you will need: a 10-mm socket and a flat-blade screwdriver.
1. Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Remove the radiator trim (see Removing and installing the radiator trim).
3. Remove the front bumper (see Removing and installing the front bumper).
Note
It is necessary to remove the radiator trim and front bumper because they block access to the washer reservoir mounting bolts.
4. Compress the spring clip and disconnect the wiring harness block from the washer pump.
5. Disconnect the hoses from the pump fittings.
6. Remove the shank of the electric pump holder from the socket in the wall of the tank by pulling the pump to the side...
7. ...and remove the pump by removing its inlet fitting from the sealing sleeve in the tank hole.
8. Remove the holder from the pump.
Note
Pay attention to the pump markings. Purchase a new pump with the same markings.
9. Use a screwdriver to pry off the sealing sleeve of the pump...
10. ...and remove it from the tank opening.
Note
The sealing sleeve of the tank simultaneously functions as a washer fluid filter. Wash the filter mesh if it is clogged. Replace the sealing sleeve if it is too compressed, hardened, or its filter is torn.
11. Turn out the top...
12. ...and the lower bolts securing the washer reservoir to the radiator frame...
13. ...remove the hoses from the holders on the tank and remove the tank.
14. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
The windshield washer jets are installed in the air intake duct grille. To replace them, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the air supply duct grille from the body (see Removing and installing the air supply duct grille).
2. To replace the right jet, press it down slightly into the grille...
3. ...use a screwdriver to press the latch on the back of the grille...
4. ...remove the jet from the grille hole...
5. ...and remove it by disconnecting the tube.
6. Remove the left jet in the same way, disconnecting the supply and connecting tubes from it.
7. Install the jets and the air intake duct grille in the reverse order of removal, and, if necessary, adjust the direction of the washer fluid jets. To do this, insert a thin, pointed tool (for example, a nail pin or a sewing needle) into the nozzle hole and turn the nozzle ball in the required direction.
Warning
Do not use a hardened needle to adjust the direction of the jets: its tip breaks off easily, and it is impossible to remove the fragment from the nozzle hole.
The tailgate glass washer nozzle is installed in the additional brake light. To replace it, follow these steps.
1. Remove the additional brake light (see Replacing the additional brake light).
2. Use a screwdriver to press out the latch...
3. ...and remove the nozzle from the hole in the brake light housing.
4. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
