So my washer pump is shot, not sure how an inner brass gear can crack. The prices of new ones are outrageous as it is NLA. Even W&N are expensive. Has anyone used the Porsche Windshield Washer Pump - VDO 823955651 ? Looks identical to me and 49 bucks at FCP.

Sure looks the same
That is a URO part and made of ceramic material. The mounting plate is different, at least on my 635, but that can be swapped out easily. My original is plastic housing so I am looking still. I bought mine at FCP and although it is physically the same I want plastic. Originals come apart easily and maybe can be rebuilt
Originals must be aplenty, as it's same for e3 and e9. I think I bought one recently, used for 10 euro.
Let me keep my eyes open for you.

I deleted the whole pump/washer setup. My brain releases endorphins when I remove stuff from the E9...
Thank you all. I think I can make it fit if it does not out of the gate. I will let everyone know, I bit the bullet ans ordered it.
Bert, the one from FCP is VDO. I think it is plastic. I'll contact you with the details.
Wish I could delete but no washer=no inspection sticker.

Hey Bob if it's plastic let me know I have several of the correct brackets, IIRC
Follow up. The Porsche pump is identical to our pump VDO/Continental but the mounting bracket is obviously different. Removing the front face plate allows pump removal from the bracket and transfer. Re-seals without a leak, works like a charm, same pos/neg terminal orientation. Suprised that the internal gears were still brass! I have enclosed the package and part#. This was 49 bucks at FCP Euro.
Bert NB: Plastic like the original. The face plate has the manufacture date on it and cannot be swapped do to the gasket that is glued to it.

I have swapped pumps and brackets in the past but some have a different orientation of the four tiny screws which prevents a swap from taking place, you are lucky.
Always in the right place for all the wrong reasons, my motto!
The reasons part doesn't really matter.
Thanks for following this one to conclusion, Bob.
