When you activate the front screenwash should the wipers work automatically?

Depends on the model year. Pre 94MY cars don't have autowipe, its only 94MY-> cars that have that feature.

Ours are a little old for that, Lindsey!
Thankfully.
It dramatically reduces the life of the wipers and the windscreen.

Hi, my 214 GSi K plate does not have wash wipe. Just a wash. Wipe is manual after a squirt! Dave

Not really. The maestro has wash/wipe function even in 1983!

Oh well.....at least with the early 200's.....control was given back to the driver!
I've developed a sense of paranoia about vehicles thinking for me.
Hope you find a pump soon.
