Changing Washer Jets

How do you do this, I have got the hose off fine, just wondering how to get
the old jet off before I can replace it. Do I unscrew it somehow or pull it
with pliers or something else?

Thanks

Michael

 

they are just pressed in, but there are plastic clips on the jet which makes
it difficult to pop out since they open up underneath the bonnet, pop them
out from underneath using a screwdriver by pushing the plastic clips
inwards......
most washer jets are like this, however a little more info on your car etc
might be better.
why do you need to change them anyway, they are probably just blocked up,
use a firm fine wire in the nozzle to clean them...or better still, use
screen wash in future, most jets block up (corrode) because people dont use
screen wash...just water...............

Hi Steve

Sorry I couldnt have been much vaguer if I'd tried.

Its a 205, 13 years old but only done 21k.

Left washer is fine, right is very poor, I had a poke abit in it with a
needle awhile ago but was in shop today and just bought one for a few quid.

I always use screen wash and when I got the car there was screenwash but I
do take your point.

I might have a go with some wire too before I pop it out.

Thanks alot

 

On my 406, after having to clean the jets repeatedly, I inserted an
on-line mesh filter (from a motor bike shop). No problems since
(except I have to clean the filter now and again).

 

well it sounds much easier than having to try and unblock small jets with
wire...........
