Title: Windscreen washer jets
Post by: carbonciocc on November 24, 2017, 17:46
Hi not been on here for a while, is it possible to fit better wash jets? I would like a spray for better coverage, which ones fit?

There were a few on here that jumped on a Peugeot spray band wagon. I think that ended badly from memory. I.e. Not fitting

Personally I don't understand why anyone would willingly create a massive temporary blind spot whilst driving. The first time I experienced spray washers, it made me glad not to have them on my car!

I am sure others will have a say in this. [emoji1]

Yup it was one of my first posts on this forum in about 2012 or so?
Washers didn't fit and when I man-fangled it a bit and tried it the result was kak.
I'm happy with the little jets  s:) :) s:)  they do the job even if it takes a few squirts.

The washer jets on my old Lexus RX400h look very much like the ones on the MR2 but give a nice fan shaped squirt. They may well be heated too. Might be worth a try. I"m afraid mine is mostly a fair weather car so I haven't bothered investigating.

not much of weight gain but the ventilation will aid the Chargecooler rad
