Audi BMW Windshield Washer Pump New | eBay

The strainers for the front and rear windshield pumps seem to cost less directly from your stealer and cost more on eBay than these inexpensive pumps!

The two pumps are located next to each other facing the firewall.

The pump on the side next to the engine is for the headlight washers, if you have them. It takes a different strainer and is a different style pump.

I have a 2001 X5 4.4i.

Just wondering have you personally tried those $5 pumps? I'd be a bit wary of a generic pump with no brand name mentioned, and frankly the quality of a $5 pump.

The factory part that i used is the Siemens/Continental pump that you can find on Amazon or Ebay for about $35 (often labeled VDO). It was the identical part that came out of the car. Having said that, since the OEM pumps that are in the car are such crap maybe the $5 pump couldn't be any worse?
