Hi,

My wife has bought a 2006 Clio which is my first experience with french makes.

The window washer is directing water only to the rear window so I suspect the washer pump valve and have decided to just put a new pump in. Having looked on the Net, I see a lot of talk about removing the bumper to gain access but when I look down through the engine space it looks to me that I should be able to gain access to the pump via the wheel arch (if I remove the liner).

I'm just wondering of there are any Clio MK3 owners who know whether the pump can be accessed and changed via the wheel arch.
Thanks for any pointers.

As above, I got access via the wheel arch liner.
I just turned the wheel inwards, (might be easier to take wheel off) popped off the liner and was a pretty straight forward change.
Pretty sure it just sits inside a plastic recess in the water bottle, was a couple of years ago I changed it on the GF's car.
