Abstract
A washer fluid pump () for a windshield washer system () of a motor vehicle has ventilation ducts (') which are arranged in a housing () parallel to the longitudinal axis. The ventilation ducts (′) open out behind bulkheads () which are likewise arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis. The bulkheads () bridge a constriction (), which is arranged between an electric motor () and a pump stage (), of the housing (). In this way, the electric motor () is reliably protected against spray water. The washer fluid pump () can also be produced in a particularly cost-effective manner.
