PatAllen

Recommended Posts

Hi, need to get a washer pump for my 02.

there seems to be a lot of variations on the same theme, 2002ad sells a cheap one but doesnt seem to fit on the original vdo bottle, you know thoses two holes that slides over some bumps on the bottle...

what is the last good known deal on thoses, that fits at first ?

thanks.

Whether OEM or after market the pump should be shielded from the exhaust manifold heat or it won't last if you do longer trips in the Summer. The shield BMW added to take care of this issue is an ugly Rube contraption but it works. Marshall, at Double 02 Salvage, is where I picked up a new one not too long ago. Used the washer pump to fill the radiator overflow pipe when driving back from Octoberfest in Monterey 2013 after relocating the pump & tank to a cooler in the passenger footwell so it could be refilled on the fly. Really didn't want to change a leaking water pump in a parking lot. It worked and averaged over 60 MPH for the 750 mile drive washing the windshield for a few seconds every 10 miles. The factory part makes it plug and play.

VW Rabbits, early Jettas and Audi Foxes (remember them?) used the same pump with the same bracket as the 2002--those pumps fit the BMW bottle perfectly.  Not easy to find in junkyards any more, but a VW parts specialist should have 'em new, and I'll bet they're cheaper than from (or for) BMW.  Only difference is the logo on the bracket:  VW/Audi vs BMW.

Check with Blunt. You can still get VDO pumps and brackets. The PN is 61661358328. It fit onto my VDO bottle, but I don't know if there is a difference in the bracket for the early (round) vs late (square) bottles.

The bottles remain the same but the bracket for the '75-'76 models -- where the bottle is located on top of the brake booster -- is slightly different: they've got a different angle. Sorry I don't have a photo handy.

I've taken new pumps -- you can buy these VDO replacement pumps for less than $50 -- and put them on old re-plated brackets, even transferring the old non-repairable pump's end plate, with manufacturing date. Suddenly that sounds...dishonest! I'm traveling and can't find a photo but here's an old pump on its replated bracket. If you're not into replating, Eastwood sells three paints that, together, provide the yellow zinc look!

Best,

Super easy to rebuild. Doing so revealed crusty spray buildup in the gears. Once cleaned it out performed a new universal pump. Before you try to get a new one, take apart your old

nice.

i ordered a VW/vdo Dasher one from e-bay for quite cheap, new with a nice plated braket.

will see how it goes.

thanks.

Pat,

 

Can you post some pics when you get it installed? My car had the washer removed. I need to hook up a whole new system. Knowing that VW has the same system for less definitely helps. Thanks!

The whole kit is less than $20. Definitely not original, but wondering if it would do the job.

I don't see any reason why that kit would not work.  I personally prefer to keep it original, but understand why a brand new 'universal' pump/bottle might be tempting.  You could also try an ad in the parts wanted section. 

 

 

This crusty pump hummed when I got it.  Now it gurrs like a puppy.

(I have posted these photos before... I just think they are pretty)

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
