citroen mist jet washers upgrade

[Darren S]

The ones I got off eBay were these, but it doesn't appear that they are listed anymore?

These are the sellers contact details though - might be worth seeing if he has the same item recoded to something else, or a close alternative?

So using that code 6438V8 it comes up with quite a few different ones to choose from.

Oddly the seller had 2 pairs listed with the 6438v8 part number. After the first set didn't work I messaged them and they refunded without returning the item.

I ordered the second pair, different listing and they're the same. They barely hit the wipers. Messaged the seller and they refunded again, no questions, no returning the item.

At least I'm not out of pocket, but I do just want mist style washers. 😂

Hunt goes on.

Messaged the seller. See what they say.

There seems to be loads of 3d printed style tat out there.

You could try 6438Y3

Don't buy those, they hit the wiper and you can't adjust the angle.

Mine were ordered last week. Just fitted them and guess what? Yep!

 

[Matt Cup]

Can’t you just adjust them with a file so that the angle changes?

Maybe but they already squirt downwards so you’d either need to angle the whole unit upwards with washers or add some material to the jet hole and then file it away.
Too much hassle IMO, and to be honest mine were good enough before. I’ve refitted them now.

I had this problem years and years ago, almost like there's two different designs of the jet and no-one really knows the difference.
I just added a little bit of rubber under the base of the jet to get the spray angle right.

Didn't there used to be a Ford part that also worked?

Someone mentions Ford in this thread.

Replacing Washer Jets?

Washer jets on the V6 are useless, I'm sure I read on here once that there's some you can buy that have amuck better spray pattern rather than 2 powerful jets….can anyone shed any light?

I also rang Citroen for a price on genuine ones. They are about £12 each.

I've messaged the Ebay seller @Darren S mention above. They're sourcing some for me. If they work (or not) I'll update here.
Failing that, I'll contact Citroen direct. Is it 6438V8 you used @Matt Cup ?

Yeah it was that part no. Still might be a bit of a lottery to what we’d actually receive directly from manufacturer though.

Boys, it's done.

Ordered genuine washers from PugFive ebay seller. Double the price of the 'genuine' 6438V8 knock offs on ebay but these are genuine and come in a citreon bag.

Genuine on the right, Chinese special on the left.
You can see just how different they are.

Lovely mist spread.

To the recycling

It's been a journey.

Good stuff - you finally got there!

Isn't the blade on the left quite short though? I have a much larger clearing sweep than that.

They should be 21 inch both sides.
Like ya say. That windscreen wiper is very small lol.

 

[bowen86]

Alright lads, take the wins where you can. Don't always have to look for the faults. 😂

Yes wiper on the left is shorter than it should be.

 

[-Simon]

Ordered a set myself now - thanks for the efforts @bowen86 ….i thought after i ordered them…. Can’t actually remember the last time i used the wipers as it only goes out on nice sunny days…oh well - I’ll know if the situation arises…my screen will be misted like a boss 😂
