i advise you to buy a haynes manual.
that said, the location of the fuse should be in the cars booklet(if you have it)

and when they give you and brand new one, you do 15k in it and they phone you and say that they need to change it and then give you another brand new one

Pugs have a fuse which blows when temps get below a certain temperature, to stop you burning the motor out trying to get frozen screenwash out. It's a common problem, and my nan when getting hers replaced the other day after the cold snap was in a queue of 6 other people getting the same thing done.
