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

[JeffD]

I put a pair in thepost to robbrooke today so rob can you fit em asap and give a 2nd opinion? (getting para its just me thinking their rubbish and in fact they are the best thing since........er....something quite good)

[cantfindausername]

One persons opinion obviously can greatly differ from someone elses.

I think it would be good to see how "good" the stock ones are when cleaned out properly.

I'd like to try out some of the new VW ones. Are washer jets compatible like that?

Thats what I decided to do by soaking my originals in malt vinegar but I cant get the Yaris out :-(

received the jets yesterday jeff thanks.


been looking at these and im thinking if i cut the clips down enough with a hot knife then it should allow room to use 2 rubber seals on there instead of just the one,

cutting the bootom one in half so just using the bottom seal at the front of the jet might give it enough lift as were talking 2mm and the jet but hopefully over the distance between the windscreen and the jets should give it enough lift to cover the wipers and hit the window properly

i will report back when i have done it

[nitric4k]

not had chance fit them today will be friday i will update soon as they done, i will take them work if its dry one day ill have ago on my dinner hour

[Spittinflames]

[nitric4k]

er I noticed yesterday with the yaris units I don't get the screen wash on the drivers side window. Was nice being able to still see out of that window. Dunno if it was just my car that did that trick before

video to follow tonight

You are so show businesss! LOL

Just as a trailer for the video - do you think they are any good?

[cantfindausername]

I'm expecting some epic show piece now...

[JeffD]

Me too - I can see it now...sequels everything...

"Yaris 2 - the splashdown" showing at a garage near you. You could do a mercahndising deal with EMI - actually perhaps not at the moment LOL!

[nitric4k]

dont get too excited guys pmsl i was on my mobile hence the short post


ok firstly when looking at the yaris clips you need to get a knife and cut where they join cause as they come you cant squeeze them but once u cut the plastic with a knife you can then remove the jets if needed. as pictures below


then use your old rubber seal once you remove the old jets cut the seal in half glue the the front bit to each jet to slightly lift the front of the yaris jets slightly then install as normal

end result been this

edited with a better quality youtube vid

i must say jeff with slight modification above they make a hell of a diference and in my eyes i think you should stock them

[JeffD]

Just seen video - very good. However, whether its just me but even on your modified ones it looks like the initial spray just goes into your wipers - especially on the drivers side?......

I will have another go tomorrow at getting them off - whjat I would really like to see is a video with one original (whiuch has been cleaned by soaking in malt vinegar) on one side and the Yaris on other.

Yaris Jets 1 - the prequel :-)

[nitric4k]

miss the wiper arm completely mate and hit the window exactly where i look through it, i will see if i can get a video of them cmpared for you friday

but all in all im 100% happy with how they hit the window and even the position

[JeffD]

Try and get a side on view if you can

[shabz]

any idea where i can get the Bosch Aerotwin Flat wiper arms from? do you need adapters or is it a straight fit? fitted these to my old astra and they were amazing

this yaris sprayer jet is a worthwhile mod, cant see bu88er all on the motorway at times...ill stick it on my 2do list

[cantfindausername]

Gotta admit that does look a lot better than stock jets.

Rob could you get a pic up of the jet as you installed it with the cut made and the extra rubber on it?

You need to buy the retrofit version, they'll fit the normal hook wiper arms.
