I think my water pump has had enough, just tried the pump after filling the tank with sterilising solution and no water from tap and no noise from pump. Last year it took a few times on the tap and then it worked,no luck this time.

Fuse blows instantly. Disconnected pump and opening tap doesn't blow fuse so definitely the pump. Opened tank cover with wooden stick and hammer,its more than hand tight ! The impellor can be turned by hand but not really very easily so can only assume its dried out too much over winter.

There aren't many posts that I can find so am I just unlucky ??
 
I changed Mine a couple of years ago
 
Hi kev, sorry it looks like I double posted (using wifes tablet and not sure what I'm doing!!)
By any chance do you know the vw part number ?
 
I used a standard whale pump for £15. Vw I think is about £120
The part no for vw is 7H7963385 if you need anymore help give us a shout

I also used the WHALE pump recommended by calikev and like him got it off eBay...once you manage to get the round lid off the water tank it's easy to fit.....
 
Thanks Guys, looks like its going to be a Whale pump at VW prices !!
