Windscreen Washer Jet

[Dave Barton]

Has anyone had to replace the washer jet and if so how did you manage to get to it & do the job ?

I did away with the bonnet jet last year and upgraded to storm wipers which have the jets actually on the wiper arms, far superior wipers and a good washer system and it was a quick and easy upgrade, I have just left the redundant jet in place on the bonnet.

Would also be interested to know, since I wonder whether the washer jets from a Toyota Corolla Verso will fit...these have 3 jets and may therefore be more efficient

Fit a spray bar system on the wipers, it works far better and avoids grovelling under the back of the dash trying to get at the original jets.

Have you any pics or links showing this. I like anything that is quick and easy.

Here you go Russ - just measure your wipers and ring them. I will post up a pic later.

I replaced the jet on mine after I snapped it while tweaking it slightly for the MOT. It's one of the least pleasant jobs on any car ever.

If you remove the glove box you can just about get your fingers to the back of it but I ended up pulling the hose out into the driver's footwell and pushing a bit of mig wire down from outside and using that to pull the hose up through. Couldn't get to the back of it to put the nut on so I stuck it on with some silicone.

How long should blades be ? mine are 16" and nearside sticks out into thin air at park, is that normal ?
One of the many things I meant to look at at SCH but forgot ( old age ! )

Can't remember the size but will measure tonight and post a pic.
