      @@TheSavageGarage I called 4 garages in my area ( I live in the Netherlands ). They all kind of laughed at me ( maybe because I am a woman ) when I said I saw this video and asked them whether this could fix the problem ( a neighbour of mine has the same car and also had this problem in the past and also replaced it and it did the trick ). They all said they had to look at it, and that it could have many causes, but that this pump change wouldn't fix the problem. Today I called them all back to tell them it díd fix the problem. I can't help but think they all tried to get lots of money from me for repair ór they just didn't have any knowledge about this. Well... long story short: thanks! ( It was a hassle to get to the screw in the back, because we didn't have an electric screwdriver like you. It took quite some time, but with pushing the plastic cover with plenty of force, we managed to get enough space in between, so we could get the screwdriver in )
