S1 windscreen washers

[Ganglandboss]

I have noticed lately that my washers have become a bit crap; the pressure of the jets is very poor.

Has anyone fitted one of these?

If so, are they any good?

That looks like a recipe for freezing up at the earliest oppertunity to me.
Souds like you need to clean the jets and flush the lines out, or maybe replace the pump itself.

If you have an S2 arm fitted to your S1 as I do, a simple and cheaper option is to fit a valeo vm15 wiper arm. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am...


get some washer tube from ebay or such and reroute the water to the arm. The effect is exactly the same as the elise parts effort at a fraction of the cost.

I also did the wiper relay at the same time- £3 from a scrappers, works a treat.
