The procedure for a 1995 E36 is quite different than a G20. For a 1995 E36, here's a general outline. However, always consult a repair manual specific to your exact E36 model (coupe, sedan, etc.) for detailed instructions and diagrams:
1. Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal of your battery.
2. Access the Pump: The washer fluid pump is typically located in the reservoir under the hood. You might need to remove some components (airbox, etc.) to gain access.
3. Disconnect the Lines: Carefully disconnect the washer fluid lines leading to and from the pump. Have a container ready to catch any remaining fluid.
4. Disconnect the Electrical Connector: Unplug the electrical connector from the pump.
5. Remove the Pump: Depending on the mounting, you may need to remove clamps, screws, or use other tools to release the pump from its housing.
6. Install the New Pump: Install the new pump, ensuring it's properly seated and connected.
7. Reconnect Everything: Reconnect the electrical connector, fluid lines, and any components you removed for access.
8. Test the System: Reconnect the battery and test the washer fluid system.
Important Considerations for a 1995 E36:
* Repair Manual: A Haynes or Bentley manual specific to your 1995 E36 is crucial. These manuals provide detailed diagrams and step-by-step instructions.
* Tools: You'll need basic hand tools such as screwdrivers, possibly pliers, and possibly a socket set depending on the mounting of the pump.
* Fluid: Have new washer fluid on hand to refill the reservoir.
If you have a 2019 or later G20, this process will be entirely different and likely more complex. You'll need a repair manual specific to that model. Accessing components in modern cars often involves more sophisticated techniques and potentially the need for specialized tools.
Recommendation: If you're not comfortable working on your car, it's best to take it to a qualified mechanic. Improperly replacing the pump could damage other components or lead to further problems.
