[Spits] Windshield washer pump/switch

[doug at dougbraun.com (Douglas Braun)]

Hello,

The windshield washer pump (built into the wiper switch) in my MK IV
has finally crapped out. It worked perfectly since 1972, and today it
started dribbling water onto the floor.  The usual vendors seem to
sell a rather expensive replacement that does not match the original
very well.  Does anybody know if the originals are repairable?  I am
not too optimistic, since it looks like a welded-together plastic
assembly that cannot be opened...

Thanks,

Doug Braun
