washer fluid MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 2006 Owner's Manual

OPERATION
The washer pump/motor unit is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a single take out
and connector of the vehicle wire harness. The
washer pump/motor is grounded at all times through
a take out of the vehicle wire harness with a single
eyelet terminal connector that is secured under a
ground screw located near the right headlamp in the
engine compartment. The washer pump/motor
receives battery current on a washer switch sense
circuit through the closed contacts of the momentary
washer switch circuitry within the multi-function
switch. When the pump motor is energized, the rotor-
type pump pressurizes the washer fluid and forces it
through the pump outlet nipple, the washer plumb-
ing, and the washer nozzles onto the windshield
glass. The washer pump/motor unit can be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the vehicle wire harness connector
for the washer pump/motor from the motor connector
receptacle (Fig. 18).
(2) Disconnect the washer supply hose from the
barbed outlet nipple of the washer pump/motor and
allow the washer fluid to drain into a clean container
for reuse.(3) If the vehicle is so equipped, disconnect the
washer fluid level switch vent hose from the barbed
vent nipple near the top of the washer pump/motor
unit.
(4) Using hand pressure, firmly grasp and pull the
washer pump out of the rubber grommet seal in the
reservoir. Care must be taken not to damage the res-
ervoir.
(5) Remove the rubber grommet seal from the
washer pump mounting hole in the washer reservoir
and discard.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install a new rubber grommet seal into the
washer pump mounting hole in the washer reservoir.
Always use a new rubber grommet seal on the reser-
voir.
(2) Position the inlet nipple of the washer pump to
the rubber grommet seal in the reservoir.
(3) Using hand pressure, press firmly and evenly
on the washer pump until the inlet nipple is fully
seated in the rubber grommet seal in the washer res-
ervoir mounting hole (Fig. 18).
(4) If the vehicle is so equipped, reconnect the
washer fluid level switch vent hose to the barbed
vent nipple at the top of the washer pump/motor
housing.
(5) Reconnect the washer hose to the barbed outlet
nipple of the washer pump.
(6) Reconnect the vehicle wire harness connector
for the washer pump/motor unit to the motor connec-
tor receptacle.

WASHER RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
The molded plastic washer fluid reservoir is
located in the right rear corner of the engine com-
partment (Fig. 19). Two integral mounting posts, one
on the bottom and one at the rear of the reservoir,
each are engaged in rubber mounting grommets, one
in the dash panel and one in the top of the right
front wheel house. A single nut and washer secures
an integral mounting hole near the top of the reser-
voir to a stud nut on the right inner fender shield.
Also near the upper inboard side of the reservoir are
two integral hose routing troughs, one for the stan-
dard washer supply hose and the second for the
optional vent hose used when the washer pump/mo-
tor is equipped with an integral washer fluid level
switch.
A molded blue plastic filler cap with an integral
retainer ring and tether strap snaps over the open
end of the filler neck, and hangs from the tether
when it is removed for inspecting or adjusting the
fluid level in the reservoir. There is a sump area near
the bottom inboard side of the reservoir with a dedi-
cated hole provided for the mounting of the washer/
pump motor unit and rubber grommet seal.
The washer reservoir cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The washer
reservoir, the mounting grommets, the grommet seal
for the washer pump/motor unit, and the filler cap
are each available for service replacement.
OPERATION
The washer fluid reservoir provides a secure,
on-vehicle storage location for a large reserve ofwasher fluid for operation of the washer system. The
washer reservoir filler neck provides a clearly
marked and readily accessible point from which to
add washer fluid to the reservoir. The washer/pump
motor unit is located in a sump area near the bottom
of the reservoir to be certain that washer fluid will
be available to the pump as the fluid level in the res-
ervoir becomes depleted. The optional washer fluid
level switch is designed to provide adequate warning
to the vehicle operator that the washer fluid level is
low, before the washer system will no longer operate.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the upper turbocharger heat shield
and the upper air cleaner housing from the engine
compartment (Fig. 20).
(3) Disconnect the vehicle wire harness connector
for the washer pump/motor unit from the motor con-
nector receptacle.
(4) Disengage the vehicle wire harness from the
routing clip integral to the front of the washer reser-
voir (Fig. 21).

NOTE: During the measurement the snap ring (7)
(Fig. 49) must contact the upper bearing surface of
the groove in the outer multiple-disc carrier (8).
NOTE: Pay attention to sequence of discs. If the
original clutch discs are reused, be sure to return
the disc identified on disassembly as belonging on
top of the spring washer (4) to its original location.
Place new friction multiple-discs in ATF fluid for
one hour before installing.
(4) Insert and measure spring washer (4) (Fig. 49)
and multiple-disc pack B3 (2, 6).
(a) Put multiple-discs for multiple-disc holding
clutch B3 together in the sequence shown in the
illustration and insert individually.
(b)
CAUTION: Apply only light pressure (less than 10 N
(3 lbs.) of force) to the clutch pack when measuring
the clutch clearance with the feeler gauge. Applying
excessive force to the clutch will give an incorrect
reading and lead to a transmission failure.Using a
feeler gauge, determine the play ªLº at three points
between the snap ring (7) and outer multiple-disc
(1). B3 clutch clearance should be 1.0-1.4 mm
(0.039-0.055 in.). Adjust the clearance as necessary.
(c) Adjust with snap-ring (7), if necessary. Snap-
rings are available in thicknesses of 3.2 mm (0.126
in.), 3.5 mm (0.138 in.), 3.8 mm (0.150 in.), 4.1 mm
(0.162 in.), 4.4 mm (0.173 in.), and 4.7 mm (0.185
in.).
(5) Check that the K1 clutch feed hole (1) (Fig. 50)
in the inner hub of clutch B1 is free before installing
clutch B1.

washer must align with the 3 raised pads (arrow) of
the B1 multiple-disc carrier (1). The cone of the
spring washer must point downwards.
(5) Insert the multiple-disc pack (6) in the outer
multiple-disc carrier and measure the clutch clear-
ance.
NOTE: Pay attention to the sequence of discs. If the
original clutch discs are reused, be sure to return
the disc identified on disassembly as belonging on
top of the disc spring (5) to its original location.
CAUTION: When working with double sided friction
discs, an externally lugged steel plate is installed
first, followed by a friction disc, and continuing on
until all the required discs are installed. When work-
ing with single sided friction discs, an externally
lugged disc is installed first, followed by an inter-
nally lugged disc, and continuing on until all the
required discs are installed. All single sided discs
are installed with the friction side up.
NOTE: Place new friction multiple-discs in ATF fluid
for one hour before installing.
(6) Measure B1 clutch clearance by mounting
Pressing Tool 8901 (1) (Fig. 171) on outer multiple
disc.
(7) Using a lever press (Fig. 171), compress press-
ing tool as far as the stop (then the marking ring is
still visible, see small arrow).(8) For transmissions using double sided friction
discs, use a feeler gauge to determine the play ªLº
(Fig. 172) at three points between the snap-ring (6)
and outer multiple-disc (4). During the measurement,
the snap-ring (6) must contact the upper bearing sur-
face of the groove in the outer multiple-disc carrier
(5). The correct clearance for transmissions using
double sided friction discs is 2.3-2.7 mm (0.091-0.106
in.) for two friction disc versions, 2.7-3.1 mm (0.106-
0.122 in.) for three disc versions, and 3.0-3.4 mm
(0.118-0.134 in.) for four disc versions.
(9) Adjust with snap-ring (6), if necessary. Snap-
rings are available in thicknesses of 2.6 mm (0.102
in.), 2.9 mm (0.114 in.), 3.2 mm (0.126 in.), 3.5 mm
(0.138 in.), 3.8 mm (0.150 in.), and 4.1 mm (0.162
