paulsto Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hi. Can anyone tell me how to remove/replace the screen wash bottle/pump on my 2008 S max. I've checked the fuse which is ok so now need to check the pump but it seems to be hidden away. I've removed the near side headlight but still not sure. Any advice appreciated. Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I know on the focus its behind the wheel arch liner. You may find its similar on the SMAX. Whichever side the bottle filler is, perhaps just remove the liner as a precaution to get a better view! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregers Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 this any good? eucatparts.com/?action=cat_ford_unit&s_id_grp=1248860&s_id_model=118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Sadly not, however, given that the SMAX is based on the Mondeo.... My Mondeo Haynes for the MK4 says you need to remove the bumper on left hand side, the retaining bolt on the filler neck needs removing and the PCM needs taking out. All wiring plugs need disconnecting, along with the washer pump and fluid level sensor. The retaining bilts need undoing and then it can be removed. I am not sure if that is the case with the SMAX, but I wouldnt expect it to be too far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsto Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Thanks Guys looks like a job for the weekend. expect the bumper will be a pain to get off. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I would suggest that before you do go taking it off, buy yourself an SMAX haynes manual. You might find that although the SMAX is the fat boy brother of the mondy, that it has a seperate means of getting at the pump. Haynes will be best placed to tell you though.

747777 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 There isn't an S-Max/gGalaxy Haynes manual out yet. I have a facelift S-max. Access to the washer bottle/pump/sensor is gained by removing the bumper, as it's tucked away NS below and out of sight/reach. The pump is removed in situ simply by disconnecting the wiring and hose and pulling it out from the rubber grommet/seal, ditto with the sensor. I'm guessing the pre-facelift may have a similar arrangement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsto Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Thanks for the replies. Haynes do not produce a manual for the S max or I would have one by now. Thanks Chris. Seems the best bet up to now. Is the bumper difficult to remove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747777 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Sorry, Paul... I know the facelift bumper is a nightmare to remove lol, but I haven't a clue about the pre-facelift. Perhaps other members might be able to clue you in on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 If I get a chance later on, I might see what the Haynes says about the MK4 mondy bumper removal and share the info to see if its identical to the SMAX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
