VW Windshield Washer Pump - Genuine VW 5K0955651

Product Information

A windshield washer pump is a small electric pump in a vehicle’s windshield washer system. Its function is to draw windshield washer fluid from the reservoir and spray it through the nozzles onto the windshield. This helps clean the windshield of dirt, bugs, and debris, improving visibility for safe driving.

• Washer Fluid Not Spraying: The most common sign of a failing pump is that no washer fluid sprays onto the windshield when the system is activated, even if the reservoir is full
• Washer Fluid Leaks: If the pump housing or connections are damaged, it may cause washer fluid to leak under the vehicle, especially near the front or rear
• Low or Inconsistent Spray Pressure: A partially failing pump may produce weak or inconsistent fluid flow, resulting in only a small amount of fluid reaching the windshield

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
