clio sport headlight washers

ok is it just me or do the little balls at the top of the jets either keep getting nicked or just plain fall out with the water pressure? im forever replacing them!!!

Does any one know where to get cheap ones?

Thanks

Common problem unfortunatley. They just end up dropping out.

I caught mine halfway out once, but unfortunately the other had gone walk abouts. Bought a new washer jet and took the ball out, then epoxy-resined the buggers both in!! they wont come out again thats for sure!!

snap.....had the same problem. Someone on here told me to supaglue them in.........so far so good.....

Yeah i had the same problem, i just used some silcone sealant (stuff you put round sinks and baths), stilll working a year on!!

 

[howie p]

good idea, does the water still pass, how do you pull them out the glue them in

 

[thedoc]

yep, superglue work a treat.. currently running haroldite on mine.. not popped out for months... and the water still gets through

my washer jets dont work at all, i havent really looked into it that much, could it just be that they dont have the little balls on?

I still don't know how the balls come out of the washer stalks as they are pretty hard to fit in place.

Mmmmm, Might have that problem on mine, have noticed the off-side one's started to leak water lately...

Anyone have a guide for doing it or/and can tell me how to take them off without damaging the bumper??

no, they would still work without the balls being in, the water just doesn't get directed properly and sprays infront of the car. One of mine stopped working ( i didn't know ), but Mike sorted it with the Renault Clip system when he did my 36k service.

Buy a Trophy - they don't have the problem!

I was told that to replace the whole thing you need to take the whole bumper off, but if its just the little ball, then you can pop it in and glue it.....
