    Hi I have two original washer bottles and both have leaky pumps, does anyone know a pump that would fit? I want to retain the original bottle.

    There is a thread here with the exact pump to buy even with the maker and part number.

    The water pump can be purchased at any auto parts store. I had the same issue and found a thread on the this forum with the part number. The pump looks identical, I just remember it was challenging removing the old pump from the plastic bottle, but maybe it was me just being extra careful. I will try and track the part number down for you and repost it. I think it was in a thread, that had all types of comparison parts which can be purchased after market that are essentially the same product without the Ferrari 3 to 4x tax.

    That's the one. I found this quite a few years ago and it has been working well ever since then. You can use the original hole, grommet and old metal holder, however, it is tricky to get the old washer off and installing it down the container is even trickier, but doable. Another member just enlarged the hole to accommodate the new grommet, much easier solution.

    Not a bad idea to check the hoses. They are usually quite hard and discolored.

    The metal band that holds the bottle will clean up nicely if rusted. I use Evaporust to remove the rust, then used the Eastwood Zinc Plating kit to restore the finish and then top coat it with a satin clear coat. Alternatively, you could spray if with a grey paint.
