to replace the water pump you need to remove the timing belt as the timing belt runs the water pump

Guys the water pump they are talking about here actually pumps water and coolant around your motor and the radiator. But come to think of it I don't know what pumps the water up to the windsheild squirters, I thought that maybe there was just a little pump in the bottle of washer fluid themselves. I wouldn't think that much pressure would be required for that.

the waterpump for your washers is located on the underside of the washer bottle... if they are going they should be easy enough to replace... i doubt they are unique to the FTO...

A lot of the time it is actually the nozzles that are blocked and it isn't the pump in the bottle.

You can also use the needle to adjust where it sprays
