My wife has a Xsara 1.4 2001 and the windscreen washers packed up. To cut a long story short I had a quick look but didn't fancy it - thought it needed a new pump - so off it went to an independent garage that specialise in Citreons. They said it wasn't the motor just the switch but they couldn't do it as it needs "reprogramming" at a main dealer :D . Two questions really - can I do it anyway and what needs reprogramming to change a washer switch?

have you checked engine bay fuse. (think its fuse 14) if it is the switch xsaras changed on 2001. some have comms2000 and some a regular wiper stalk. if it has radio ctrls under the wiper stalk it is comms model. if there on steering wheel it normal switch. the comms is a lot more expensive and harder to fit as you need to remove the steering wheel but nether of these need programming. 9 out of ten times its the fuse so make sure before ordering anything. good luck and hope this helps.

It hasn't got any radio controls on it so hopefully its a normal type one. As to the fuses I tried to check but the listing in the hand book bears little resemblance to whats under the dash or in the engine bay! :D So I'll have another look at 14, thats after I fit a new battery when I get home as it was dead this morning. Don't think we'll have this much longer at this rate. Its a year older than my Octavia done less miles and is far more trouble :lol: , so can't see swmbo sticking with it much more!

Thanks for the help.
