Good

The pump on our 2008 Toyota 4Runner Limited gave out (no spray and no sound of the pump being activated) I asked our local mechanic for their quote. The quoted an hour labor (at $125/hr) and $70 for the "real" Toyota part "Not some cheap 'aftermarket' 'garbage'..." (their words exactly). After watching a few Youtube videos and reading a couple of comments in a couple of 4Runner forums I decided to do the repair myself. A couple of the videos talked about the need to jack the car up, remove the right front wheel and it sounded like maybe the quote wasn't too outrageous after all. But, I turned the front wheels as far right as they would go and with a bright flashlight was able to see the pump and decided jacking it up and removing the wheel was totally unnecessary. I also saw three large phillips head screws holding the inner wheel well "mud guard" (don't know the "official" name) and removing those screws and disengaging that thin plastic assembly from the "mounts" gave me complete access to the pump, the electrical plug and the single piece of tubing attached to the pump. After disconnecting those, two small ridges around the pump housing body and friction between those ridges and the circular rubber gasket are all that hold the pump in place so all that needed to be done was twist the pump and pull it out of the hole. Before I did that I disconnected the small wiring connector from the existing pump and attached it to the new pump and gave it a try and sure enough I could hear the new motor "hum" (apparently it didn't know the words... okay, old guy joke) so I new the old pump was dead. (You'll need a small flat blade screwdriver to release a little nubbin on the body of the pump to remove the connector.) Since the reservoir had washer fluid in it I put a Tupperware container underneath it and pulled the pump out enough to start the emptying process. That reservoir seems to hold about a gallon of fluid when full (which it was since I had "wisely" filled the reservoir to make certain that wasn't the problem). Though a new gasket was included since there wasn't a single drop of fluid on the garage floor underneath the reservoir I didn't replace the existing gasket since it wasn't leaking. I did use some heavy-duty silicone pool gasket lubricant I had on hand on the two ridges on the body of the pump that marry up with the rubber gasket into which the pump is inserted in the reservoir and also put a small amount on the plastic tube onto which the rubber hose fits. One thing I did notice in another reviewers comments is the new pump doesn't have the white circular plastic filter "screen" that the original pump did so I used a small flat blade screwdriver to pop/break it off of the original pump and then crazy glued it in place on the new pump. I attached the rubber tube, reconnected the wiring connector and firmly pushed the pump in place. Before putting the interior wheel well "mud guard" back in place I tried the windshield washers and they worked perfectly! The pressure is great and I'm delighted I decided to do the job myself (especially now that I know how easy it was to replace it and how little time it took to do it!) BTW, the rear window washer/wiper still didn't work and I thought that was my next minor repair. A little "JFGI-ing" revealed several people claiming they had fixed that "problem" by completely lowering the rear window and making certain it was all the way up. I "knew" that couldn't possibly be the problem but did it anyway. That 1 - 2 minutes of "research" and lowering/raising the window fixed that "problem". Great product, great pressure, great price.

The pump seems well made and works fine. I would buy another one should I need to replace my wife's pump in her car.

Fit perfectly with no issues. I watched a UTube video on how to remove the front bumper to make it easier to install the replacement pump. Worked out perfectly.

Seems stronger than OEM, which is good.Works flawlessly in my 2016 Hyundai Tuscon. Easy to install by removing a few bolts from the cover under the windshield washer tank......swap out one connector, front windshield hose and rear window hose.

My son had this place into is truck and is very happy with the result.
