    Headlight washer pump and fuse

    Can someone tell me which fuse is for the pump for my headlight washers?

    I removed the bung that previous owner had put on the pump and put in proper piping, but the pump is not sealing so the fluid just leaked out the washer jets.
    Any ideas what a new Pump will cost me?
    Is going straight to Audi the best option?

        Oh, ok.
        I got out the multimeter and connected it to the pump's plug. Even when spraying I had 0v.

          Might be a silly question but did you have the lights on when testing ?

              you can always try 12vdc direct on the pump to see if its ok then you would know its a wiring fault, not sure if there is a relay in that circuit or not though?

                Good suggestion.
                Should there be a non-return valve in line, or does the pump deal with that?
