Headlight cleaning problems and signal error of the wiper water pump in Citroen C3 Diesel 2011

Headlight cleaning system without function

Hi guys, I have a problem with my 2011 Citroen C3 Diesel with a good 175251 km on the clock and need your experience. The headlight washer doesn't work as it should. I suspect it has something to do with the signal error of the wiper water pump for the rear window. Unfortunately, I had no luck with my last visit to the mechanic and would like to know if any of you had similar problems and how it went with your mechanic? Please share your experiences with me. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I once had a similar problem with my 2014 Citroen C3 diesel. It was probably something to do with a faulty pump cable connection or relay, pretty much exactly what you describe. On my last visit to the garage, the mechanic found the fault and in the end it was the cable between the pump and the relay that was slightly loose. He optimized the cable connection, inspected the relay and made sure everything was working optimally. As far as I understand, it's not a really serious problem, it just requires some craftsmanship and accuracy in locating the fault. Don't panic, it can be fixed. My C3 has been running smoothly ever since. Good luck! LtCmdrDillyD4lly

Hi LtCmdrDillyD4lly, thanks for your reply. Glad to hear it's probably nothing worse. Do you remember what your mechanic charged to fix the problem? And has anything similar occurred again since the repair or has everything gone smoothly so far? Thank you!

Hello, sure, no problem, I can tell you. The repair for the faulty cable connection of the pump and the relay cost €165. And since then, the signal error in the wiper water pump for the rear window has been rectified and everything is running smoothly again. So far, I've been very satisfied and there have been no similar problems since. I hope this helps you!

Hi, €165 sounds absolutely doable if it fixes the problems! Thank you very much for your help and the precise details. That reassures me and I will now ask the garage in more detail. It's great that your repair was sustainable - that gives me hope. Thank you for sharing your experience. It has helped a lot!
