As title all the jets are working,plenty of water coming out but it only just hits the windscreen. Is there an inline filter or filter in bottle.Motor seems to be working.'IVE CLEANED THE HEADS AND BLOWN THEM OUT

The standard jets are pants at best mate..ive not got any yet but everyone is changing to the wide angled mist jets..cover the whole screen in one blast..about 12 quid on ebay iirc

On the flip side of Surfers comments...I bought a set for mine just before the MOT and guess what...It failed on one wiper blade not clearing the screen sufficiently. Up until that point i'd always used them, but gone back to std style now as Garage said a lot more are failing due to insufficient clearing with the aero blades on. Not saying they are all bad , just my experience before any one shoots me down in flames

However back on topic...do those citroen/peugeot screen washes fit straight in?

Also just check they aren't dripping underneath , as I have a C3 as well , and the washer jets let water under them to drip on injector no.4 , a bit of clear silicone under the jets stops it on the C£, but nor sure if it would leak on a truck and where the damage might be..............

where did you get the mist jets from and did you need to alter the hole or did they fit straight in, cheers

I changed my jets in the link above. Very easy to do but the washers holding the originals in place were a pig to remove and I ended up destroying them. You may need some needle nose pliers to remove them.

I know it's an older topic, but I remember that Peugeot 405 had a pretty cool solution; they installed the washer jets directly to the wipers. Worked great.. ... could be a cool mod one day.

#17 by 123hotchef , Fri Jul 11, 2014 8:53 am

that is a good idea too simples to do

#18 by FoxyChris , Fri Jul 11, 2014 8:00 pm

I did the washer on wiper mod to my FTO. It does sound like a good idea but it didn't work in practice and left streaks all over. The thing is that the water is only on the windscreen a fraction of a second before the wiper removes it!
