2. Dual pump or Monopump
3. High pressure pump
4. Level sensor.
The washer system consists of:
- Washer can (1) (one or two depending on washer system)
- Dual pump (2) for windshield washing and rear window washing (3 and 5-door models); Monopump for windshield washing (2 and 4-door models)
- High pressure pump (3) (vehicles with headlamp washing)
- Level sensor (4)
- Hoses and nozzles for headlamps, windshield and rear windshield.
There are two different washer systems, depending on the engine variant. The washer cans have a different design and volume:
- 4 cylinder engines have two washer cans holding a total of 4.1 liters
- 5 cylinder engines have one washer can holding a total of 6.3 liters.
For further information concerning the washer systems, see Washer system, 4 cylinder engines or Washer system, 5 cylinder engines.
The pumps and the level sensor are located on the lower section of the washer can.
The pumps are mounted in the washer can using rubber bushings. The filters are integrated in these rubber bushings.
