Anyone know the cost of replacing a Vauxhall corsa motor for the scren wash?

The screen wash facility on my Vauxhall Corsa car got frozen and didn't work over Christmas, I thought once it had thawed it would work but it didn't. the mechanic at the garage told me this morning that the it was the motor that had gone in the screen wash (he didn't even check it) and it would cost over 拢200 to replace plus vat and labour charges, is this a fair price, anyone know before I book it in for repair. Thanks to anyone who may know.|||Loads of places like Motosave will stock the pump, and you can buy new ones from ebay. Souldn't be any more than 拢20. For 拢18 more, get a Haynes manual and that will show you how to do it. :)|||Just to say a very big "thank you" to everyone who helped with their answers. I took advice from all of you and went to another garage, guess what! it cost me 拢35 including parts and labour and its now perfect. Many thanks again.

|||that is a ridiculous price... lol


i dunno how them people manage to sleep at night.


u can get one from a local scrap yard for like 拢10-拢15


you must know sumone who can fit it for you





PS, obviously my thumbs down is from a rip off garage merchant lol|||He's having a laugh.





The Pump itself is around 拢20.00 and can be fitted by anyone who can hold a screwdriver.





Before buying anything, check the fuses. It's No. 15 in the main fuse box and is 15 amp.





DO NOT go back to that garage.

National Autocentres are linked to the AA, so may be ok.|||takin the utter piss find a local independent who is trusted and recommended another answer stated national autocentre wouldnt try them either cant speak for them all but the one closest to me is full of knuckle draggers who also rip the piss

heres the part for 拢10 takes 1/2hour tops to fit so fair play to them i guess god loves a tryer and at 拢380 an hour labour charge they must be good





but as anothe answer states check the fuse if you try and use the washers when frozen it will blow them if its a corsa c theres another little cover in the engine bay fuse box lift this and check fuse cant remember the number but it should tell you in owners manual|||Fitted I'd of thought 拢50-拢70 tops including the part from non franchised garage. Probably about 拢40-拢50 for cash. Its arseholes like that that give mechanics a bad name.
