Guest Lee81 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 The wiring for the pump goes behind the passenger side of the front bumper. It common for people to get this wire stuck between the bumper and the wing when refitting the bumper. Over time the movement will wear through the wiring stopping the pump working. Have come across this problem on every mk4 i've owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
