Any experience with aftermarket window washer pumps?


Recommended Posts

We have a 99 Legacy wagon with a windshield washer pump that needs replaced.  I see on Ebay that there are lots of aftermarket ones for sale for less than $20.  I was wondering if anyone had any experience with one of these? 

 

The main goal that I would be wanting to achieve is to avoid any that that don't fit the tank, or that don't fit the connector or that don't last. 

 

Thanks for any comments!

 

ps.  Our pump is 86611AA010

OK, I'm going to answer my own question.

 

Got an ACI 177114 pump at a parts house for about $15.  I just put it in.  

 

1.  The connector snapped right on properly.

2.  The rubber fitting to the tank was too small.  I reused my rubber part and added a little silicone sealer to make sure it didn't leak.

3.   The connection to the rubber hose to the squirter in the hood was correct for the size of hose.

 

So I got it in and it is working.  Daughter just took the car, so I'll have to check for leaks later. 

I think that the bottom line is that $15 for a new pump is a far better deal than buying a used tank for $25 plus shipping, and getting an old worn out pump.
