Washer Jet Help

[MarcB]

Went and got some of these (Link Below) and fitted them tonight thinking they would cure my problem of 1 very poor jet but oh i was wrong.
I have added a video of these new washer jets in place and in action. They fit perfect with no leaks but the spray hits below the wiper and on to the plastic windscreen panel where the wiper arms are.

Here is the video.

Not just a stick a pin in the washer and adjust it that way?

If you are referring to my standard washer jets then the above has been done so many times and i have also left them steeping in boiling water to try and clear them out. Done this a couple of times and still no joy.

As for the new ones its like there is no where to actually put a pin in to move anything

Ah I didn't check the link before hand, just had a look the now, strange setup that.

Well mine doesn't do that, they hit the windscreen perfectly. Maybe not enough pressure is to blame here? Maybe the pump isn't working as well as it should or a slightly blocked pipe?

Isn't there a variable nut type part that fits underneath with various angles, depending on how you fit it?
i.e. if you twist it, it varies the angle that the jets point at.

I have fitted my old washer jets back on and in each jet there is 2 small holes. 3 out of the 4 small holes are very very good with good pressure but there is one small nozzle that does not spray worth a toot.

I have tried swapping the jets around from drivers to passenger side but once again the same small nozzle is not blowing anything out and if it does its very very poor so im not sure it can be the pressure.

You sure those new ones wont adjust?

They look very similar to the ones that were on my Leon and you could adjust them.

These are prob copies then as the dealer ones fit perfect....

These will need alittle bit of rubber under the washer to aim it up at the screen to work !!!

 

[MarcB]

There is no nut to adjust them and they slip right into the bonnet perfect.

I have also tried to adjust them with a pin but there is NOTHING to adjust and the pin just goes right through and if you look in picture 3 you can see this.

 

[pastieman]

You need to put a bit of rubber between the washer and bonnet to get the correct angle to hit the screen....

Should have bought from the dealer mate mine fitted perfect and didn't need to mess around with them

 

[MarcB]

Looks like im back to square one.

I will once again have a look online to see if there is any ones with part numbers on them at are OE

 

[pastieman]

Part number from Citroen is 6438.v8

This will work perfect

 

[Ianboom]

Could you try blowing down the blocked jetfrom the spray end with an air line?

 

[Laine_16v]

Fitted the citroen 6438.v8 they work perfeclty and have a littler sticky adhesive pad under to get the correct angle as said above. Hits the centre of the screen lovely!

I had another car that had these fitted, I thought they were utter turd...
I've never found anything wrong with the renault ones tbh, it's more likely the pump that's causing the problem
