VDO 246-082-008-025Z / 246-082-008-025G Windscreen Washer Pump

The VDO 246-082-008-025Z and its variant 246-082-008-025G are high‑performance monoblock windscreen washer pumps designed to deliver reliable water flow for automotive glass cleaning systems. These units combine robust construction, precise engineering, and compatibility with a wide range of vehicle models from major manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes‑Benz, Porsche, Seat, Skoda, Volkswagen, Honda, and others.

Key Technical Features

• Connector ID: 3 – ensuring a secure fit with standard automotive fittings.
• Type of Pump: Monoblock (Monopump) – single‑piece design that simplifies installation and reduces potential leak points.
• Material Composition: High‑grade aluminum alloy housing combined with a durable rubber seal, providing resistance to corrosion, temperature extremes, and chemical exposure from washer fluid.
• Flow Rate: Optimized for consistent water delivery at typical automotive pressures (up to 4 bar), guaranteeing effective cleaning of windscreen surfaces even under high‑speed conditions.
• Operating Temperature Range: -40 °C to +120 °C, suitable for both cold climates and hot summer operation.
• Electrical Requirements: 12 V DC, standard automotive battery voltage, with a current draw of approximately 0.5–1.2 A depending on pump speed settings.

Design Highlights

The monoblock construction eliminates the need for separate motor and pump components, reducing assembly complexity and potential failure points. The integrated impeller is engineered to maintain a high suction capacity while minimizing cavitation, ensuring smooth operation even when the vehicle is stationary or moving at low speeds.

Its compact footprint allows installation in tight engine bay spaces without compromising airflow or cooling pathways. The pump’s mounting flange features standardized bolt patterns that match OEM specifications for most European and Asian vehicles.
