Mist washer jets

[Smnwllms172]

I want to change my oe ones for mist type jets. I bought a cheap pair of pug ones off eBay to see if they work. They do, but they spray too low. Just below the wipers in fact. Anybody done this? Or have any suggestions to get them aimed right? Cheers.

I have Alfa Romeo ones on mine, bought them off ebay for £6 they are spot on.

Will dig the link out for you.

These are the ones I bought.

They are listed as citroen etc but when they turned up they were in a genuine Alfa romeo packet with part numbers on so im not sure if they were sent by mistake or thats what he posts out. They mist fine though and hit the windscreen perfectly.

Ah couldn't even guess at what the part number was. I will see if its on the invoice when I get home. But im guessing the invoice will list the apparent Citroen part number.

 

[Jakey92]

I had the exact same problem with my first set of Mist Washer Jets. You need to search for ones advertised with the part number above ^^^

I had the same issue, then bought the ones posted by Lal B3N. Apparently those work well (I got alfa packaging too), just waiting for my car to be fixed to try them out.

Ive just brought these also, i was surprised when they turned up in a alfa, lancia packet aswell lol

 

[Kyle 86]

Heres the packet lads

 

[Lal B3N]

Ha well it seems its not just me receiving alfa/fiat/lancia ones.

They work well though so im pleased with them.

Haha im glad to hear there good bud i also have a pair of the other mist jets that the other lad posted up, ive never tried them so ill just give them away to a mate...I wonder what mist jets we have then lol

 

[TIG ACM]

I have pug ones amd the aim two low mafe a little wedge shaped piece of rubber to reangle them. Not the best fix but better than the standard jets

 

[Kyle 86]

How do u get the OEM ones off lads? Pull em off with plyers lol

I just pushed from underneath the bonnet, eventually they come out. Can be a bit stiff at first with them being in for so long.

Cheers bud, Ill do it one day ive got a few parts to fit on the old girl ive just gotta motivate myself lol

 

[Smnwllms172]

Thanks for all the replies lads. I shall get some of the Alfa ones. :clap:

 

[Kyle 86]

Yeah they seem like good ones, ive just done some internet research and it looks like citroen, Fiat & Alfa Romeo all use the same particular part and share the same number

 

[banderson]

I ordered genuine Citroen ones from eBay for about £6 and received the Alfa/Lancia ones.

They are identical fit to the clio ones and I didn't need any adjustment

very pleased with them!

 

[Expired]

Also received the same Lanica/Alfa ones. Huge improvement over the original ones.

Saying that I know my washer pump was on its way out as the original jets were hopeless so I fitted a new pump at the same time (10 min job for the whole lot)

[DanEdser]

I bought the same ones and im 99% sure they had citreon logo's on :S

 

[davo172]

Ordered mine Friday !

I need to get a new pump too, but need to look and see which one I need first

 

[SparkyB]

ordered me some of these bad boys today!

 

[Zeitgeist0190]

Got myself some but couldn't get my old jets out and ended up stabbing myself in the hand with a screwdriver and calling it a day.

[stevescort172]

just fitted my washer jets did anyone leave the rubbery thing on (the circular bit) doesn't sit as flush with it on but thought it might be to stop it leaking??

didnt even notice anything like that on mine, i just put them on and attached the hoses. Haven't seen any leaks!

 

[stevescort172]

Lol, guess its me being fussy then. If you look at them you can see the rubbery bit sandwiched between bonnet and washer doesn't sit as flush.

 

[thermal-penguin]

Just fitted mine seem to work spot on! Passanger side is a little lower tho :-/ which seems strange anyone else noticed this?

 

[stevescort172]

No mine sprays fine, Did you leave the washer off on the passenger side?? that's the only reason I can think for it being lower.

How much lower is it compared to drivers side??

 

[Zeitgeist0190]

I just popped mine stright in, in place, didnt add or remove anything to them, straight in, pushed the tube on, gave it a quick test, great!

 

[Simon_16v]

Definitely something I will be adding on my to do list!

 

[Daryl87]

After a quick look on here, I've decided mine need replacing - Just ordered from that link cheers guys

 

[jme_159]

Fitted these last night. They are awesome! Bit of wiggling, bit of screw-drivering and job done.
