[Mk2] [Generic] Improved Washer Jets - Good news for this damm weather

[gtech]

I have emailed all the details over to Jeff at "Flashmetal" so hopefully he will stock them at the right price.

[-:[KM]:-]

Great minds and all that...

I PM'ed Jeff a couple of weeks ago for the very same reason...


...and I've got the blade type wipers too!!

[Rob]

Brilliant matey - well found!

[Hunders]

Ah, cool!

I was planning on replacing my washer jets for Saxo ones because they spray a nice 'sheet' of water instead of the two crappy jets. Thats the one thing my old Saxo had going for it over the MR2.

So thanks, I now don't have to modify the washer jet holes to accommodate Saxo ones.

Ta.

Well I did some Lively driving on the motorway the other day with them, and despite me THINKING they could do with spraying higher up the windscreen, they were fantastic where they were, quick squirt and had a lovely clean windscreen


Wipers on next.

Might have to do this myself....the window wipers on the MR2 are awful and the spray certainly doesn't help matters....

Cheers for the top tip!

looks like a trip to the dealer coming up

Just ordered 3 sets - one for me to try out to make sure it works and 2 sets for those who have already emailed me :-)


If I think theyre any good I'll be stocking them from next week :-)

post likes these could do with a "thanks" button


... but as i can't see one : thanks - sounds like a vast improvement on the stock ones.

I've honestly never had a problem with stock blades or arms. Never have problems at motorway speeds in the wind either. I don't think imports come with the wiper spoiler on the drivers side though which I got for mine and solves all problems. Mine clear the entore area no problem, I just replace the rubber every 12-18 months from Mr T for £10 and that's all I need to do

Good tip with the jets though

[raptor95GTS]

just fitted the new jets tested them but couldn't be bothered going for a drive due to other issues. While the jets work great ( at standstill ) the washer pipe fitment is straight down whereas the originals point 90deg to the drivers side. This means the pipes (on mine at least) are a little tight pulling the washers and making them sit slightly squint. I'm going to change the washer pipes to slightly longer lengths so the jets sit flush

Cool! I think my pump has died though as nothing is squirting and I have a full tank

Jeff: How much you going to be doing these for??

[DaNgLe]

I have emailed ya over at flash metal, I could do with some of these

You sure they're not full of polish or other crap?

Lift the FRUNK, pull the hose off one of the Jets and point it over the side of the wing.....Get a "Lovely Assistant" to press the Windscreen Wash button and see if the hose ejaculates over the side of the wing

Watch the windscreen wipers dont catch on anything when you do the screen wash process. At least it will tell you if the Motor is working ..... Good idea to also listen for it.

[RANDOMr2]

cool, i'll do that in a sec.

[Jimmy Drama]

Nice tip - need to get me some of those

[raptor95GTS]

when I tried there tonight I was thinking they hit the windscreen too low but lo the windscreen was very clear. They er work

[Jimmy Drama]

Just placed a set on order, local dealer wanted more a little than £13 for the pair - worked out at £7.95+vat each
