Subaru: Windshield washer

Hi,
Why bother with OEM pump? Could by universal fit after market pump for
lot less.

Thanks for the info but I have already paid for the order. I'll keep it in
mind for the future. By the way,
where would I go to purchase after market electrical
products?

Thanks for letting us know. I guess that lightning does sometimes
strike twice in the same place.

The manufacturers really do nail you on the cost of proprietary parts.

If you need to buy genuine Subaru parts in the future, you can sometimes
do better with some of the places that sell over the Web like
subaruparts.com or 1stsubaruparts.com. I'm sure that you'll get some
more suggestions from other people here. These turn out to be actual
Subaru dealers who sell on the Web as a sideline. Just watch the
shipping costs to be sure you're getting the bargain that it seems like.

Glad for you that it's fixed. Must have been that alcool(was it alcool
or some other stuff) you put in the reservoir that ruined the pumps.

I remember now, it was vinegar. Did you put that in before or after the
pumps
stopped working. Just want to put my knowledge bank up to date. ;-)

Alcohol is the base of regular windshield washer fluid, along with being
the root of all evil! No, I guess it's money that's the root of all
evil. Alcohol just claims some of it. The story was that liquor was so
cheap at the US Army stores in Germany during the early 60s that it cost
more to use real windshield washer fluid than vodka with a shot of dish
soap.

I put the vinegar in the reserviour about 3 - 4 months ago.

I checked the Subaru web sites you listed and neither of them offer the
windshield washer pumps. They offer tune-up kits, accessories and
performance items.

Thanks again,
Emmy

Just send them an e-mail describing what you want and they'll give you a
quote.
