It can be fixed! The plastic piece where the tube is connected can be removed and inside theres a 10x16x4 simmerring that costs less than 1euro and that can be replaced. Then the plastic support that originally was thermally fitted can be simply attached with 4 screws. This way one can change the simmerring anytime. If needed I can post pictures. |

If you could that would help because personally I don't understand the word 'simmering' in this context, could you explain that some more? Discovery 4 HSE

Maybe I haven't got the english name right, a simmerring is a rubber radial joint with a spring in it that allows rotation while insulating, here's a picture: [/img] |

..and thatīs the inner view of what happens when inner seal ring is not longer leak-proof and why wiper stops working....(not much difference to old Lucas wiper motors from the 50s, but this wiper motor is from 2003)

Here's the motor with the new 1EUR seal ring and 4 screws holding the plastic piece. No more leaks!

After a quick search this was of great help and made a job that I thought would be hours a 20 minute breeze.
