Thanks for stopping by the Ozzstar's Cars channel.
I am a 57 year young woman. Searched you tube for my specific leak problem. Finally found this one. Now I’m ready to diy repair. So detailed and helpful. Thank you!
Good luck with the fix Rebecca. Let us know how it goes!
@@ozzstars_cars thank you I will!
Discovered leak under my wife's 2017 Sportage. Great video. Purchased new pump from Rock Auto, tax + shipping, total $26.00 Thanks for the great work
A good tutorial! Good camera work, and not too fast. The man knows what he is doing. Wish they were all this good.
Thank you Bill.
I used this pump to replace the pump on a Ecell 3100 PSI pump. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxEU8wdEWW31diRsOawsCNfWEho39M27qd The model # is PWZ0163100.02 for those looking for a matching pump. It went on very easily - 10 minutes at most. Feels like a lot more power than the original but that's to be expected. Can't tell a difference when cleaning with the wand or floor sprayer. Would recommend as it was cheaper than most I found. The maintenance free aspect is definitely a plus too. Have used it through about 6 tanks of gas and have zero issues so far.

Pretty sure this is why my Kia Sportage is leaking washer fluid. Just ordered the part, looks easy enough to do myself and save real money. Thanks for video!
Fairly simple job, easy peasy.
My Kia Sportage is leaking too. It’s only been like 3-4 months since I purchased it
Thank you sooo much, you just save me over $350 at the dealer!!! the part cost me under$15 at Amazon it took me like 20 mins from beginning to end! Thank you again!!
Nice Miguel.
Excellent details. Thank you for making and sharing the video on the windshield washer pump replacement and the tips. God bless you and your family. Keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful!
Just wanted to say thank you! This was the issue with my car and your video prevented me from taking the car in to the shop. Great job!!
Good to hear. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for posting this DIY video. Just did this exact fix on my wife's 2015 Santa Fe today and it took me 15 mins after watching this.
Hopefully your wife knows you are a super hero now. Nice job Alex!
Just did mine after watching this video and a couple others. I took the wheel off and then east access to the plastic fasteners and pretty straight forward from there. Took me about and hour ish start to finish, not too bad. I bought a whole new reservoir with pump and everything for $97 online rather than mess with all those small seals.
Thanks! I noticed a little ww fluid under our 2017 Sorrento when I was changing the oil the other night.
Guess I know one of the chores I'll be doing this weekend. Thanks for the tutorial. It seems simple enough to change the pump out.
It's always something to fix when trying to just relax and take a day off. Fairly easy fix if you have a new pump.
2 years later and this video is still necessary. Thank you!!!
A very common problem that is sure to be needed. You're welcome! -Glen
Thanks so much for posting this video. Not only did you save me the labor charges to get this pump replaced, but your amazon link saved me $100 on the part (O'Reilly's and my local Hyundai dealer both want $130 for the part). You saved me tons of time and money....thanks.
Glad the vid helped you out Zach. I appreciate the Paypal donation to support the channel. Thank you sir!
thank you! for the tutorial, super simple to fix, I repaired the same on a 2015 Santa-Fe. Did not take off the wheel, had just enough space, also used the existing grommet as you did in your video. 15 min fix and a $26 part from AutoZone will see how long it lasts! thanks again!
My 2016 Santa Fe - exact same problem as you showed. It had been leaking quite a while but lately leaked the tank out in a few weeks. You saved me a lot of time by knowing exactly how to approach this! Because I am cheaper than you, I lightly sanded the plastic where I could get to it, sprayed carb cleaner on it (to remove the grease). Then used some good 2 part epoxy (24 hr cure) on it all around the joint (not just on the crack). I'll report back in a few weeks if this is successful but I bet it will be fine. Saved the $24 for a new pump! PS, I use distilled water in my tank. I've found that when it dries, there are no water spots and it never freezes where I live.
Interested to see if the band aid will hold.👍
@@ozzstars_cars 1 year still holding.
@@FlyMeAirplane happy anniversary!! haha
If you have a 2016 Kia Sedona, your pump will actually be even harder to reach, facing the front of the vehicle. I ended up removing both screws that fasten the tank in so that I could maneuver the tank some to and get the pump removed and replaced, then put everything back in. The 2016 Sedona's pump was only $12 on Amazon, handy. This video was very helpful even still, thank you!
Good info on the Kia. Thanks
Just popped my wife’s 16 Sedona pump. Same process as he did. Just turn the wheel to the left.
@@jamesquick1753 that's what she said. 😉
Thanks so much for posting this. I was able to do the repair with your video without much trouble at all. If it helps anyone else, one of my tube fittings had expanded and wouldn’t stay on when I ran the motor. I fixed this by just snipping the expanded end a little to create a snug fit.
I live in Florida so the heat probably caused the tube to expand on that one side (the side facing the road).
Wow! This saved me HUNDREDS of $$ by doing this myself. Easy as pie! Thanks Ozzstar!
Nice Mitch!
Great work in the steps on replacing the pump Glen! And great tip on using a piece of tape to ensure that you don't have any leaks afterwards. Have a good one and be safe...
Thanks and you be safe as well.
Your little trick at the end is brilliant!
Thanks!
Great job figuring out the washer repair needed . Good and snugger now Glen
You got that right! haha
Good, graphic view minus leaking. Pouring more like it this will show me what to look out for seems like an easy fix also . Ty for the video
On this model car it's easy, some can be a real challenge!
thank you for showing all details with much clarity
Thanks for the comment!
Yeah, great video. Confirmed that this is a problem part since we have two Santa Fe Sports ('14 and '16) and they are both leaking. Replaced the '14 today, and the tutorial was spot on....thanks for the great video.
Glad it helped out.
Thank you...our break was in the exact same spot...20 min easy fix for a person who can't fix anything 😎
Nicely done Jerry.
Thanks for this video! My Mitsubishi Outlander has a leak as well.. this will give me a good idea how to take apart and inspect. Here in Canada, we go through windshield washer fluid quite a bit.
Good luck with the fix Patrick
Wow, really well done video, nailed the problem my daughter's Sportage has. Really helpful, well explained, great detail and lighting, thanks much!
Thanks Joe I appreciate your comment.
Thanks for sharing this video it really helps me, very good tips and repair
@@kurtgood2914 glad it helped you out! Take care. -Glen
Thank you for this video! The pump on my 2016 Sorento has a huge crack in the same place as the one in this video.
It's a common failure for sure. Thanks for stopping by Christy.
Thanks!
Worked perfectly!!! Saved about $75 Thanks!!!!
Thank you for this informative video. It was detailed enough for myself and my sons to follow through. ❤️
Good news. I try to make all my repair videos clear and practical. 👍
Entertaining , interesting and real. 👍. You have the washer system covered from leaks to plugged lines .
Thanks Steve. Hope it's not getting to cold up your way. 👍
@@ozzstars_cars Nope its quite warm for nov.
Fantastic work !!! Do you think maybe using crazy glue and sodium bicarbonate will seal it for good , also some types of epoxy . Again just for emergency to get you through , your idea of getting a new pump is the ideal way to go.
I have tried exactly that and it failed. Replacement is the fix. Thanks for the comment Gino.
@@ozzstars_cars thanks and keep up the great content 👍🙋🏻♂️
Great video , I had a scare thinking it was coolant then noticed my washer fluid was almost empty.
Glad the video was helpful
I just filled mine up today and saw it just leaking out the bottom 🤦🏻♀️imma try to diy and learn myself. Glooks for the video
Thanks for the super informative video bud.. all fixed, with the same crack being the issue. Only issue I had now was that my rear washer which was previously working, is not spraying... I'm thinking I tugged something out of place... was getting dark so I left it for diag tomorrow... have you had any similar issues?
No I haven't. If you bought an aftermarket pump I would suspect that is the issue. Good luck.
@@ozzstars_cars thanks mate.. it was oem, but I'll have a look tomorrow...
Great tutorial, my Santa Fe 2013 she didn't has any engine problem ,Did you advice me to change the purge control valve to a void any engine issues in the future or no need to change it and waiting for the some signs of valve malfunction .
Left a like! Noticed my washer fluid leaking every night out of my Veloster ordered a new pump
Nice!
This was the exact same problem I found on my 2017 Kia Sportage today. Thank you very much for the help. Might jb weld that little white connector part?
You're welcome. I would not attempt the repair with goo. Comebacks are no fun. Pump link pinned at the top of this comment section and in the video description..
great video, very helpful for my 2009 Kia Borrego. And I wasn't mad about the singing, hopefully you didn't get dinged! haha
LOL
great video easy to follow ...no BS !!!
Absolutely John!
Followed this video for my 2014 Hyundai Veloster. Worked like a charm. I would even contend the pump was more easily accessible than whatever vehicle you used in this demonstration video.
2013 Santa Fe in the video. Glad it helped you Mike, smash the thanks button above if you get a chance.
So patient and easy to understand. Thank you.
Just the way we do it on the Ozzstar's Cars channel. Thanks Tim
Nice work Glen. The camera was fine. I need to get busy fixing a few things on the 01 Vette.
That will keep you busy for a minute. Are you going to get it painted by the same place as your C6?
Almost forgot, thanks for the feedback on the camera work.
@@ozzstars_cars yep, they do great work. They said they will knock a few bucks off since this is my third complete paint job.
Great video! I have this issue with my Sorento. I'm a chick but can now easily replace this myself! Thanks!
You got it Jen!
Great video! thanks, I knew exactly where to go, mine had a crack in the exact same place. If you want to fix this on the cheap try a cleaning up the crack with some sandpaper and a little JB weld.. good as new. 😂
That's a hillbillie fix! haha Glad the video was helpful.
Did everything you said on my santa fe sport. It worked out great 👍. Now I have too figure out how to replace my rear passenger door ajar switch. Door closed but computer keeps saying YOUR DOOR IS OPEN!!!!😂
ua-cam.com/video/PLxQXdjkZcY/v-deo.htmlsi=_qvsUR82jd6y9BKQ
Just finished the job. Video was great. Thanks.
Awesome
Appreciate the video, I needed this to do the same to my 07 Stang.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the tip. Got the same issue on my daughters veloster. Thanks heaps
You're welcome.
Great job, thanks for the detail info & sharing!
You got it! Thanks for the comment.
Top work as always Glen 👍👍👍🍻
Thank you sir, I appreciate you.
Same issue, but did a workaround on mine. I just popped off the check valve and hooked the hoses straight to the pump, works fine. The check valve only appears to check one side anyway, probably to prevent one side receiving fluid a split second before the other. I didn't notice any difference without it though.
Thanks. Super helpful. Today I found mine was leaking too.
It's a common issue.
Hi. Great video. Would this tightness test apply to every washer fluid pump? I just tested my pump from 08 Passat and after blocking fluid intake side and blowing other side bubbles appeard in unexpected place. My understanding is that there should be no air comming out from any other place that fluid inlet and outlet. Am I right? Thanks
Sounds right
Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks for making this video, man! Helped ME fix my NEIGHBOR's car. Liked and Subbed!
That's good news!
Thank you for your videos. I've used a few of them and they have helped me tremendously. Really good quality and very informative.
I appreciate your comment, thanks! -Glen
I replaced my pump. It's not leaking now, but now it doesn't work haha
@@jbossa2 did you use a genuine oem pump like in the link I pinned above or aftermarket garbage?
@@ozzstars_cars yes, I used the same one from your video
@@ozzstars_cars I just have damaged the electrical piece that goes into the pump. Do you know what part that is to try to replace that?
Very useful, thank you. I found the same white part broken on my 2012 Veloster (pump looks exactly the same)
Very helpful. Good job. Thank you so much
You're welcome Bahman.
Brilliant many thanks, I can now sort out my daughters car 👍
Thanks for putting this up.
Thanks for sharing. This was right on point!
Same car huh?
Thanks so much for this video. Awesome help
Glad it helped Francisco!
Thank you man, I have the same problem. You saved me a lot of time !!
👍
I've got the same leaking issue going on with my 2017 Kia Sportage. It's still under extended warranty, so I took it to the dealership today to get fixed.
Nothing beats a free fix.
@@ozzstars_cars Totally! Turns out my problem was identical to yours. The pump inlet/outlet flanges were cracked.
My 2004 Golf look like your unit. My leak is where the motor plug into the tank.
I just bought a tank seal from FPC Euro. If it was not for your video. I would not have thought to buy a new seal.
Glad it helped!
Looks exactly like what's wrong on my 2015 Kia Cee'd - only difference is, there's a lot more room between the pump and the bumper on a Santa Fe than a Cee'd! 😂 I've ordered a replacement pump on Amazon, hopefully it'll be as easy to change as in your video. Thanks for posting this @ozzstars_cars
Good luck with the fix Harvie!
Thanks Glen! Purchased a Febi Bilstein (German make) pump which Amazon advised would fit my car. Fitted it Thursday, realised it was still dripping - on Friday I refitted it with some PTFE plumbers tape round the washer gromit and the pump inlet nozzle.
The pump came with a new washer gromit which like yours was a little smaller than the original but I used it as when trying to get the original one out it popped through into the tank, I had to fish it out with a wire, I then couldn't get the original washer to go back into place.
Could I suggest flushing the tank out well before fitting the new pump. I had to rinse it about 8 times to get rid of 8 years of gunge which had built up inside.
Good luck anyone else trying this, £17.88 for the pump is cheaper than taking it to a garage! Just remember to reconnect the electrical plug before reattaching the wheel arch trim!
your a rocket scientist!
Thanks but nowhere close to that smart. It's probably just my singing skills that fooled you. Haha I appreciate your comment Robert!
Thank you ,Well done
very nice and helpful video
Thanks!
Thumbs up Glen, great info!
👍
Appreciate ur video man thanks
Hey! Nice fancy double-dongger pump there! 👍😎
I had that same problem with the rubber on a 98 Ram 2500. Was an AC Delco pump, too. Installed the rubber, slipped in the pump, filled up with fluid and she peed everywhere! Ended up doing the same thing you did and reused the old one. No harm in reusing rubbers, right? 😄
I call it recycling. 🤣 Have a good weekend Smitty!
@@ozzstars_cars - You too, Glen!
Dows the triangle with exclamation point disappear after refilling the fluid? Or you need of kind of reset it?
It will reset itself.
Would a bad seal cause it to leak onto the floor boards of the car? Mine is always empty and my carpets are always wet? Thanks man 👍
You might have two different problems there.
@@ozzstars_cars please tell me what you think it could be
@Christy Powers sorry I can't diagnose something like that online because there are to many variables.
We had that exact same thing happen to my wife's QX50. It was fixed under warranty just before she traded it for the 4 Runner.
Somebody got a new pump. Have a good weekend Terry.
Good job 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks!
********I opened the water pump. Same issue same location ans the nipple was cracked. I made the crack bigger and filled with good quality water proof appoxy . It was PC appoxy potty stick suitable for radiators. Its fine now. No leakage******
good demonstration
Thank you Dean.
Great video!! Thanks you saved me a lot of time!!
Thanks for the comment Kurt
Thank you very much.
No prob, you're welcome
Great video, thank you
Glad you liked it Dai. Thanks!
Awsome video, thanks for the info 👍🏼
You bet!
Enjoyed the video and just ordered the part via your Amazon link. Have you done any Hyundai Santa Fe A/C work? Pretty sure my discharge hose has a leak but also hear the evaporator temp sensor can be defective.
High pressure side line tends to leak. Done plenty of them.
@@ozzstars_cars just fixed the washer fluid leak. Cracked at one of the outlet tubes. Thanks again! Did you notice the electrical connection is more angled on the replacement?
Glen where can I buy the Folgers washer fluid. Hahaha Nice job as usual.
Where everything is Jim , on Amazon of course. 😁
How long did the whole process take you??
Filming took 1 hour, editing took 4.5 hours. So 5.5 hours dedicated to a job that takes no more than 10 minutes to complete. #UA-camr
Hi, Thanks for the video. I have the same problem on my Kia Ceed. Not sure tho if the pump is cracked like shown here.
The question if it's not cracked, what are my options for a leakage repair?
Check the pump or look for a cracked tank or hose.
Great job Sir , thanks
Thanks 👍
Use Henry rubberized roof cement, cheap, fast, and reliable fixed.
Or just fix it the correct way, once.
@@ozzstars_cars But it seems like this is a design defect. So is a fix better or worse than a new part with a design defect? Time will tell! Great video tho!
@@FlyMeAirplane I replaced a new tank bought from the dealer. Same leak again on the tank. Roof cement is the best to fix it inside or outside. No more leaks, fast and easy.
Great video! Great tips!
Thanks!
I have a 2007 Hyndai Accent and the neck of the washer reservoir is cracked and I cannot top it off as it leaks out from the crack. Can I use Gorilla tape around the neck to tape up the leaky spot?
I would suggest replacing the cracked tank.
Thank you!
great job thanks
Thanks for your awesome, informative video! That was exactly my problem. Even the location of the crack was the same!
Just one question. I am trying to buy a pump and I see some people have complained that those replacements will pump the front and the rear simultaneously. Did you use the one you mentioned in the comment section? If so, did it have this problem? Thanks again :)
Glad it helped! Link to the pump for the Santa Fe I fixed is in the description and pinned in the top comment.
@@ozzstars_cars Thank you again! I ordered the one you mentioned and it worked like a charm!
@@aaa22689 that's great!
FYI...the 2017 model has the motor/pump pointed towards the front bumper and its much harder to remove! May have to loosen the entire bottle to drop it down a bit.
thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you for a great tutorial that helped me alot .. ps: please don’t sing again 😝😝
I can't make any promises that I won't. haha Thanks for the laugh.
