BMW X5 E70 Windscreen Washer Pump Removal

kzbin.info...
How to remove all 3 washer pumps on an e70 x5. The process requires the fender / guard / wing / quarter panel be removed in order to access and replace either the front or rear windscreen washer pumps, or tje headlight washer pump. To remove the front panel, the side skirt has to be removed from the rocker panel / sill. Once this is done, the wheel are liner can be removed and the washer bottle is then visible. This job is required if you habe weak washer jets or they don't work at all.

All that for a washer bottle pump .. this is why I left the trade.... Yet still finding myself doing it. Thanks for the video mate.

[@pauldid]

Thanks for the video. Yours is the fourth one I’ve watched on how to do this, and the only one that showed just flexing out the bottom of the wing instead of disconnecting the top bolts. I know the wing is plastic so it should flex easily right. This will make it so much easier. Yours is also the only video that mentioned there are three pumps if you have the headlight washer which my X5 does.

Curses at the BMW engineers for putting these pumps in such inaccessible locations!

[@dflex4180]

they are not stupid they engineer these cars to be take back to the dealer

[@ApocalypseRogue]

Totally agree! I have the X3 the reservoir is in engine bay, 1 screw & whole thing lifts out. Just replaced the filters & cleaned gunk out of reservoir 20 min job.

[@neilrobinson5115]

Like everything else on them

[@neilrobinson5115]

So true

[@durhamterrellliger]

Thanks, this information was very helpful

[@lamachhorne9043]

So you post a video of the washer pump removal, without actually showing the removal of the pump. Excellent tutorial!

[@FourRingsAuto]

So I post a free video and it doesn't quite give you what you were looking for, yet shows all the steps to access it, again for free. Excellent comment!

[@lamachhorne9043]

@@FourRingsAuto First of all, I've done that job quite easily without even releasing the fender. So thanks for the free video, but no thanks. Don't click-bait viewers. If your title says motor removal, then at the very least viewers should see the motor being removed in the video.

[@FourRingsAuto]

You did it easily yet still watched a youtube video? And you couldn't figure out how the pump comes out?

[@BVLVI]

Agreed completely wasted my time.

[@DanielZajic]

Very nice! I'm surprised I haven't seen another DIY got this yet. I got stuck at the running boards; I didn't know how they were attached and didn't want to pull hard on them.

[@FourRingsAuto]

Thanks. The job can look overwhelming, but it's not hard really getting it stripped down, and this way prevents unnecessary damage.

[@charlesanderson7000]

Thanks Four Rings Auto. I need to do my X5 washer vbottle leak on the weekend

[@FourRingsAuto]

No problem Charles! I do a lot of X5 repairs so don't forget to Subscribe. Thanks

[@dzungle3193]

Very much appreciated for the video you made. Can you list all the tools needed for this Job. Thanks

[@Bavarian_M]

Great info

[@dan1981ify]

Thank you !

[@FourRingsAuto]

No problem!

[@ApocalypseRogue]

I'm glad I have the X3 christ what a ball ache just to service/replace pumps etc. 5 min job, 1 screw & whole reservoir comes out on the X3 (located in engine bay)

[@glenspence6016]

Where does the pipe for rear washer enter the cabin i think mine has burst as the washer bottle is losing fluid and my drivers footwell carpet is soaking! (RHD) vehicle?? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

[@res887]

I prefer to clean the windshield by hand for my whole life rather than removing all those panels to fix the pumps!

[@FourRingsAuto]

Hahaha yep i can understand that.

[@josemario1606]

True. Mine is not throwing water to my windshield, I won't even bother to check if the pump is damaged. I'll just clean it mysalf with a towel.

[@jontaylor4160]

This is a lot harder then u make it look

[@spencermaiers8322]

E53 pumps sit on top 5 mins. Gotta buy new blind rivets and do a bunch of screwing around. Bmw mechanic here and not pleased with newer bmws. Lotta fn around for sure. For some cheezball pump.

[@FourRingsAuto]

I agree, the e53 had an ideal washer pump location.

[@EvilMmM]

I'm getting leaks in drivers floor mat, and I think its hose to rear windscreen washer, need to disconnect pump. Is there any other way? Fuse box?

[@dflex4180]

you have a leak probably coming from your door...the membrane inside needs to be replaced never heard of wiper fluid leaking into car...also clear your water drains

[@markom4784]

is it on the BMW X6 similar?

[@FourRingsAuto]

Same

[@sweatkeith25]

The reason I m watching this video cuz my x6 one failed I'm I'm like if I try myself I will light the car on fire if I get stuck in the middle of it. 🤣

[@ekoopasetapart3933]

Too much work for that little problem

[@foscamkoto2728]

When I start to remove the top bolt here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJabXn2tnph1kMU I heard something pop and the bolt just hang there. I cannot loosen it or tighten it up anymore. Can you let me know you removed these bolts behind the fender next to the door (6 second mark in your video). Thanks!

[@FourRingsAuto]

Yes i removed the bolts. I can only think that when you loosened the bolt, the metal clip with the threads in has dropped or something similar.
