Good video thanks. Just used it to do mine, wiper jets weren't working but could hear pump was working so took off that T piece and found that valve thingy had not really perished in mine but was curled up a little so I flipped it over and refitted and now my jets are working again 👍
Thanks for the video , garages refused to do it , found your video and did it myself . Only £38 for the pump , your video made it so easy to do. Once again great video.
Hi Kevin, really glad the video helped fix the problem . If you think it helped please LIKE and Sub to the channel. This really helps out us UA-cam creators !! Thanks Joe
Many thanks for this video, I had the same problem and it was the diaphragm exactly the same as yours, which saved me massive amount of time not having to take the wheel off and the washer pump. Thank you. I now have to find the solution to my Headlight washer jets not working......
You're welcome! This is separate circuit and pump I think, the jets pop out under the water pressure. Not looked that, but it might be a bumper off job. Check out my headlight repair as I take the driver side of the bumper off to get to the out headlight, so that might help you out.
One of the most useful videos ive ever seen! Thank you sir! Thanks to you many can prevent that water in the footwell and save their junction boxes as well!
Thanks very much for this very useful video. I had worked out i had a issue with washer fluid returning to the tank. I wanted to know if it had a non return valve and where it was if it did. Once found, removed and stripped down, my seal was exaclty like yours. I fixed mine with a 0.75 mm thick piece of rubber sheet i had around. It works perfectly now. Thanks.
Just wanted to say thanks for making this video! I just fixed the same issue on my XF this morning, your vid was a great help in showing me how to get access to the washer pump. In my case the T-piece was ok, it was the pump that had failed. I also took the opportunity to flush out the gunk from the washer tank and the hoses while I had it all apart. Anyway - cheers!
hi I'm so glad I found your video after paying jaguar a fortune to change washer and light pumps when I picked it up no water on passenger side then they tell me its the washer non return valve, guess what they can't supply that part iv got the valve of and like yours the diaphragm was curled up iv order a valve from e Bay and will use the original spring in it thanks again
10:33 I had the same problem with very low output from windscreen washers - tried replacing the warped diaphragm with a cut down bike inner tube patch, but it was too thick. So after some searching I found a piece of pond liner - not sure of thickness, but probably 0.5mm. Cut to size, fitted it all back together and hey presto I now have good flow through the windscreen washers for the first time. Hope this helps.
Thank you, very useful, I ended up doing exactly what you did. Have a new pump now at least! Could not find that blasted T, now I have my diaphragm was the same as yours.
Thanks for your advice. Having blown the system through from the pump and fitting new jets, I finally got to removing & checking the T piece. The diaphragm was very like the one you show. Not having a new one, I binned it & fitted just the spring & plunger. My washer now works better than it ever has. Hope this helps anyone with the same problem
Hi Brian, I'm sure it will ! I tried this on mine but found the water jet took couple of pushes and also was lowish pressure. Having the diaphragm seemed to help this by holding the water at the T piece junction. But great comment and I'm sure will help out others :)
I did the same, just binned the diaphragm and the spring because it was pointless putting the spring back in. And saved some weight in the process. Adrian Newey wound be proud of me!
Axle stand (jackstand) anti-slip / grips have been removed. Better than scissor jack only, but not safe. Once any car is in the air, rock it back and forth and side to side, it should not fall. If you feel like it would be silly to even try rocking the car - you have your reason why the setup is unsafe. :) Also it's a good habit to always place the removed wheel under the sill as a secondary. Stay safe youtube.
I could not raise the car enough to use the "grips", if modern cars had proper jacks supplied, but they don't as there no such thing as a spare Tyre these days with them, then I might have got the height I needed. All the others wheels were blocked so it would not move and the axle stand had the weight of the car on it plus the Jack was still in place. As i was not working on anything which required rigorous actions to prepare or work on it was sufficient for this minor work. Agree a Scissor jack it NOT safe on it's own to carry out this work, and probably not even to change a tyre.
@James N, not sure as I think the XF 2015 is the newer model to mine. It might be in the same place. But I think the principles are still the same. You could try hot water in the washer tank (not boiling !!) as that might dissolve the gunk in the bottom.
While you had the pump out it would have been a good idea to fit a capillary break in the wiring to prevent the known problem of water leaking from pump and travelling down wiring and causing damage to wiring loom and ECU. Capillary break cost a few pence , replacement loom/ repair cost upwards of £1000 .
@@poorboymechanic5280 Cut the wires and splice them back together by whatever method you like, as long as the wires have a break. I use inline wago connectors. Quick and easy, just tape them afterwards to keep the elements out
@@poorboymechanic5280 Hi sorry for late reply. A capillary break is simply a break in the wire/ insulation. The simplest is to cut the wire and region using crimp on connectors. The wires to the water pump are pretty well protected from the elements so crimp connectors should be fine or you can give them a smear of vaseline .
@@philf5043 Thank you very much for taking the time to elaborate. Think I have some self amalgamating tape kicking around in the garage. I will wrap that around after splicing in new connections. The advice is much appreciated Sir 👍
Hi Joe, could I please pick your brains, when I press the washer button on my Jaguar XF 2013 , the wipers sweep but the washer water sprays intermittently, they spray with every sweep ? is this correct or should they spray constantly. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Martin
Hi Martin, if you press the button once the wipers will move and the water jets out only twice. If you hold the button in you will get a repeat of the two jets of water each time it finishes a set. So no constant stream of water. The final weep of the wiper blades is to clear the residual water run down, across or up the screen, then the wipers stop. Hope that helps you out.
My xf 3.0 was sent recently for a brake pad replacement, the stupid workshop fellow opened the battery, and got my bcm corrupted, I got it reprogrammed and everything is working again, the only issue is my wiper does works, but the water in the pipe is not coming. Neither the water pump is running. Neither the windshield or the headlight both pumps not working. Can anyone tell me, Is it because of the bcm issue which happened recently, if yes how can I resolve it?
@@joewoodford9428 hey I changed the pump and the screen wash worked for 1 day and then stopped. I can see the wash hasn’t leaked out. Do you have any idea what the issue could be?
@@fkasqar8484 It might be the three way valve at the point where the water from the pump feeds the two screen washer jets. See my other video on that. I guess you have checked the new motor is still working?
Hi VFR Bore: Sorry no, the pressure from the pump just would not release the water through it, as per the end of the video comments. You can see the length of the spring in the new unit was much longer than the stock item so it was putting too much pressure on the diaphragm to release any water and the motor did sound unhappy ! I need to try the modified value now as I have cut back the spring to match that of the stock unit. Not tested yet as just happy I have water out of the jets!! :)
Wow! what a faff. Shame because mine works well now although come to think of it there is a bit of a delay when I hit the washer button the first time. Water doesn't come out instantly all the time, but then it is fine.
Hi Sajid, is the pump not work, ie it not making a sound or no water out of the jets. If you can hear the pump worth checking for blocks in the pipework, The T Piece was the issue on my Jag in the end as the diaphragm has perished!
Do Jaguar do a replacent T-piece? My diaphram is the same as your old one. Decided to buy a t-piece off Amazon, when I put washers on, the t-piece end cap decided to fly off into outer space.

One question, does the Jaguar have a fuse for the windshield washer ?
Thank you very informative and helpful 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful! My pleasure 😀
Great video Joe, did you ever find the correct genuine Jaguar valve ??
Unfortunately not, but the solution has worked since creating this video :)
@@joewoodford9428 Thanks, I changed mine after looking at your video. Mine has gone very week again.

Maybe just add a warning saying don't get under the car? Love the rest of the vid by the way :)

Depends on model, if MY08 to MY15 then it will be on the driver side (UK) .

Hi is the washer pump located in the same place for a 2013 Jaguar XF 3.0 ?
