Washer jets wanted

Post by Dobbs » Sat Dec 08, 2012 5:33 pm

Hi folks,

I'm after a set of washer jets for a MK4 - 2x front and the roof one for the rear window. Must be free-flowing unlike the after-market ones the previous owner fitted which have now almost blocked up and yes, I've tried cleaning them and unblocking with a pin etc...

Thanks,

Dobbs.

Honda jazz ones are a good upgrade for the fronts mate ;)

How do you remove the rear one? :?

With difficulty.

In theory it's the same as the front ones - it pops out. However, it is a sod to do without breaking the clips, or bending the roof panel around the hole.

I've always taken the trim off the underside of the roof, so that you then also have the pleasure of not quite being able to get properly at the underneath of it to squeeze the tabs in and push it out without causing any damage (you need long nose pliers and it's still a bloody pain).

I managed it on the UKDM but the JDM just wouldn't budge for some reason and ended up snapping (new one ordered from Honda!) :ugeek:

The washer hose also has *NO* slack in it, i.e. it won't pull upwards out of the hole in the roof, so it's a sod to re-attach after.

ENJOY! :lol:

Hi folks,

It's best to remove the interior trim and then use long nose pliers as recommended above. or use a long flat-bladed screwdriver to compress the tab and then push up and out. The trim should just pull off if you're careful... ;)

Ziyaan has come through with a set of jets - many thanks! :D
