Think I'm going to order myself some of these aswell.... Do the old washer jets just pull out I take it?

 

[Jamie16v]

I ordered some on Tuesday, still waiting for them to arrive.

Yeah, little bit awkward. Hardest thing is getting a grip on the washer to pull out.

Make sure you adjust them or they will probably just miss your windscreen or hit it right at the bottom

 

[len_beach]

This thread says they need to be C2 jets which the first ones don't fit?

These are Xsara mist jets, and are definitely what most people use

Does anyone know if these are a straight swap for the Mk3 too?

How is this done mate? I've just fitted mines today and one of them is aimed at the scuttle panel which barely lets the water hit the window

 

[geordieracer]

They arent adjustable as far as I can tell. You could try using a pin and seeing if you can re-aim it.

The alternative would be to use a slightly wedge shaped thin piece of rubber between the nozzle and bonnet.

This would lift the edge closer to the windscreen and therefore adjust the aim

 

[kriscwales]

I went to a local Citroen dealership and bought a set never had to adjust hits the screen spot on mate.

 

[geordieracer]

To the op, what part number was on yours, and were they still sealednin an original packet.

If I remember rightly, there is also a version for the pug 307 which looks identical, but has a different aim point due to a different slope to the bonnet.

Have you got the part number by any chance?

 

[fakeConcern]

I changed washers on both my daughters Clios, (Mk2 Ph1 & Mk2 Ph2) with washers from Citroen C4 part number c6438ca, they work really well much better than standard. I told the Citroen dealer I was member of C4owners.org, he had never heard of it, but gave me 10% off anyway, so worth a try!

Are those ones mist jet ones?

Part number Ron is 6438.v8 for the xsara mist jets

No idea what the part number is, they weren't in a dealership packet or anything just a padded envelope.

I don't think they're genuine tbh this is them: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140813658939?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 serves me right for buying cheap sh*te

 

[Ged]

Iv put some on my mk3. Had to use a stanley knife to trim some plastic, but then fit well!

Worth nothing I probs need to adjust mine with a shim of some kind... Due to the more slanted mk3 windscreen at a standstill the washer jets hit the screen but not perfectly. Once your moving like 30-40mph wind resistance means aim is perfect.

Still better than standard and uses ALLOT less water

They look genuine, but as the pug ones are identical, they could be them.

I just buy mine from the dealer, bit more expensive but the right ones.

Part numer is 6438.v8

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Part number Ron is 6438.v8 for the xsara mist jets

Cheers matey

 

[Revels]

So is it just pull old ones off with some pliers. Push tubing on to new ones. Push new ones into the holes.

That simple?

 

[geordieracer]

That simple yep.

Could be, the only diffrence I can see from pictures is that the little nozzle seems to be slightly diffrent from genuine xsara ones

I fitted some genuine Citroen mist jets and found the trajectory of the mist hit the wiper arms?

 

[Krarl]

Have you adjusted them?

 

[DomP182]

I'm still too tight to buy them, I bought originals for my old 182 when you could get them for around £6, not paying nearly £20

Had the same issue with some genuine ones I bought based off this thread. Went through a few before I found ones that actually worked well, the exact ones in the video below are still up on eBay as well here:

[Robbie Corbett]

I have these which work as above

Pardon our interruption...

Look the same as these:

2x MAZDA FRONT WINDSCREEN WATER SPRAY WASHER NOZZLE BLACK | eBay

WATER SPRAYER NOZZLE. FRONT WINDSCREEN / WINDSHIELD WASHER JET SPRAY NOZZLE. Head Length: 30MM. Head Width: 20MM. Bottom Length: 20MM.

disclaimer, the moment I installed these my power steering pump exploded.... coincidence? I think not - it f**king knew a Chinese knock off Citroen part had been added to its soul.

 

[VenomUK]

@Touring_Rob Funny, cause fitting mine and my washer pump decided it had enough of life...
