In this video we diagnose and repair the Hyundai/Kia windshield washer fluid pump that was leaking and needed to be repaired. The low washer fluid warning light would display on the the cluster about a week after adding fluid to the reservoir that would constantly empty.

I used this pump to replace the pump on a Ecell 3100 PSI pump. kzbin.infoUgkxEU8wdEWW31diRsOawsCNfWEho39M27qd The model # is PWZ0163100.02 for those looking for a matching pump. It went on very easily - 10 minutes at most. Feels like a lot more power than the original but that's to be expected. Can't tell a difference when cleaning with the wand or floor sprayer. Would recommend as it was cheaper than most I found. The maintenance free aspect is definitely a plus too. Have used it through about 6 tanks of gas and have zero issues so far.

Just did mine after watching this video and a couple others. I took the wheel off and then east access to the plastic fasteners and pretty straight forward from there. Took me about and hour ish start to finish, not too bad. I bought a whole new reservoir with pump and everything for $97 online rather than mess with all those small seals.

[@johnthelen5258]

thank you! for the tutorial, super simple to fix, I repaired the same on a 2015 Santa-Fe. Did not take off the wheel, had just enough space, also used the existing grommet as you did in your video. 15 min fix and a $26 part from AutoZone will see how long it lasts! thanks again!

If you have a 2016 Kia Sedona, your pump will actually be even harder to reach, facing the front of the vehicle. I ended up removing both screws that fasten the tank in so that I could maneuver the tank some to and get the pump removed and replaced, then put everything back in. The 2016 Sedona's pump was only $12 on Amazon, handy. This video was very helpful even still, thank you!

[@ozzstars_cars]

[@SOrtolano1]

Thanks so much for posting this. I was able to do the repair with your video without much trouble at all. If it helps anyone else, one of my tube fittings had expanded and wouldn’t stay on when I ran the motor. I fixed this by just snipping the expanded end a little to create a snug fit. I live in Florida so the heat probably caused the tube to expand on that one side (the side facing the road).

[@FlyMeAirplane]

My 2016 Santa Fe - exact same problem as you showed. It had been leaking quite a while but lately leaked the tank out in a few weeks. You saved me a lot of time by knowing exactly how to approach this! Because I am cheaper than you, I lightly sanded the plastic where I could get to it, sprayed carb cleaner on it (to remove the grease). Then used some good 2 part epoxy (24 hr cure) on it all around the joint (not just on the crack). I'll report back in a few weeks if this is successful but I bet it will be fine. Saved the $24 for a new pump! PS, I use distilled water in my tank. I've found that when it dries, there are no water spots and it never freezes where I live.

Interested to see if the band aid will hold.👍

Same issue, but did a workaround on mine. I just popped off the check valve and hooked the hoses straight to the pump, works fine. The check valve only appears to check one side anyway, probably to prevent one side receiving fluid a split second before the other. I didn't notice any difference without it though.

[@harviemilligan1887]

Thanks Glen! Purchased a Febi Bilstein (German make) pump which Amazon advised would fit my car. Fitted it Thursday, realised it was still dripping - on Friday I refitted it with some PTFE plumbers tape round the washer gromit and the pump inlet nozzle. The pump came with a new washer gromit which like yours was a little smaller than the original but I used it as when trying to get the original one out it popped through into the tank, I had to fish it out with a wire, I then couldn't get the original washer to go back into place. Could I suggest flushing the tank out well before fitting the new pump. I had to rinse it about 8 times to get rid of 8 years of gunge which had built up inside. Good luck anyone else trying this, £17.88 for the pump is cheaper than taking it to a garage! Just remember to reconnect the electrical plug before reattaching the wheel arch trim!

Hi. Great video. Would this tightness test apply to every washer fluid pump?
