- 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.

Gold Finch singing away in the background at 9:54 it's like music to my ears got to love a gold finch great singers they are👌🏼sorry Martin what was you sayin🤣👍🏼wicked vlog matey as always👏👍🏼
What a fu,,,ngg pain in ta bum ,good getting around taking all apart,
A fellow Jock has a channel on here called - Once Driven, Forever Smitten
What he doesn't know about Vauxhalls isn't worth knowing
Just a wee heads up if anyone is ever in need of any info
Cheers
He hasn''t posted anything for a while - hope he's ok. Really enjoy his channel.
@@derekmcneil653 Yeh was thinking the same
Martin try boiling water in the bottle seems to work a treat to break down the crud obviously with the bung out.
Done that on my old cavalier works a treat
That second plug would be for the rear window motor on the non convertible version, great vid as always 👌😄
You've inspired me to have a go at mine now. My transit connect 08 has awful water pressure from the windscreen washer! Wish me luck 🍀😃
It was just gunk blocking it! Hour and half later and it's back to factory power! Cheers for the boost Martin
Every1 suggesting insignia washer jets haven't told you how much of a shit they are to adjust without the proper tool,
Unless you can make 1 from a pen, it's do able, just have loads of old pens,
the tool is around £8
The extra plug would be for li,e the gsi astra for headlamp washers as vauxhall used the same looms across all the range
A good mod for the astra g is to change the jets to the insignia ones as they do a mist spray
Yes, my son has already done it.
Nice video, thank you.
cheers m8, been wondering whats up with mine
I haven't got a Sharon available, will an Andy do?? 🤣 thanks for this my little job for this afternoon...🤞😬🤞 xx
Have fun!
Great weather for cruising in the convertible Martin and Sharon, enjoyed the video.
Mine was like that washing up liquid does that
Do you know how to replace the hose for the washer fluid in an Astra H? Mine is broken and the end of it is stuck in the scuttle. It's one of the few things the Haynes book doesn't cover.
Not done that job sorry.
Can you help I've a 2003 astra convertible mk 4 like yours when my washer bottle is empty shud it warn me on the instrument dash retrostore
Mine doesn't (I think)
Bye for now guys👌🏼👌🏼
Great work thanks for sharing this with us take care
You should have took the wheel off, take the rubber seal out and cut the filter off job done
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.
Gota have it Stew 😆
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
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 ;-)
That would block up the jets in no time
Metal coat hanger
Shut that door 🤣🤣
Never beaten ! Nice one Martin 👏🏻
Might be worthwhile using a head torch when pointing the camera into a dark space.🔦🔦🔦
Sorry, forgot to say thanks for taking the time and effort to help others.👍 My new pump should be here this week, I have an Astra J, but it’s much the same procedure.
The simple jobs are the most rewarding i always think on a car
Agree Phil
Thanks!
I always used to put too much screen wash in and eventually it turned to jelly in the bottom... I've learned my lesson.
Common problem on old Vauxhall's Think the saying is pain in the butt
Thank you Martin I always love watching your videos I am from South Africa
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.
Get the insignia washer jets. Spot on upgrade around about £3 and put a mist over the windscreen
Spare plug is for the headlight washers fella. Would have been easier for you if you turned the wheel in
Cracking video gaffer
Thanks for watching, glad you liked the video
Same happened on my focus, no washers blocked filter
Should leave the roof down and lock the car then run in and tell sharon you have locked the keys in the car
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
good one Martin will be at mine tomorrow on ford kuga pump working but no water getting through
Suggest replacing the jets with the insignia jets as they are a fan. Much better.
You are a good husband, Sharon is happy.
Thumbs up !!
Cmon vauxhall wont make it easy for us by securing stuff with philips head screws
Always alan keys screws that go rusty and round off
So true lol
Great when it all goes well. Quick question if I may. I am restoring a Mobylette X7. I am going to paint the frame black. Could you tell me if black gloss spray needs a clear coat.
Thanks and take care.
Jeff
Not if it's direct gloss or 1k paint Jeff.
@@retrorestore Thats great Martin, thank you.
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.
That's a good idea!
Well done Martin I knew you would do it
Nice fix Martin. 👨🔧
Great fix, well done, are you doing any work on the reliant after you have finished the astra??
Eventually
Good fix Martin 👍👍👍
Lovely tan Martin 😎
Great Vid Martin 👍
Cracking job
Nice easy fix Martin 👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Nice one Martin.
Many thanks
Nice work Martin, i don't think i would of attempted that without at least removing the front wheel. 👍😎
Thanks 👍
