[s-cars] windshield washer nozzle - update

[Robert Myers]

Mark, et al,

Been doing some further checking. Found and pulled and cleaned (a 
little CLR) the check valve Mark pointed me to (thanks, Mark). It 
appears OK - was able to blow air through it easily in one direction 
but not so easily in the other direction. Left the valve disconnected 
and tried the pump and an unrestricted flow path. No flow. Also no 
pumping noises. I suspect a dead pump or an open circuit in the pump 
power supply. Fuse somewhere?

Any special tricks to pull the tank and get at the pump? It _looks_ 
like it's just a matter of disconnecting one bolt and then just slip 
it out. Is it really that easy or am I missing the part where the 
Audi gods require the sacrifice of your firstborn child and a pint of 
fresh blood?

Should I find that the pump is actually dead what is a good 
replacement source these days/

Bob
