Mist washer jets

Car  02 Clio 172
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.

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.
 
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.

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
 
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

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
 
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
 
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!

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)

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