how to adjust washer jet

[such]

My wife has a 2004 1.9tdi, and the drivers side washer jet is spraying into the bottom of the screen. is it a simple case of sticking a pin in and redirecting the nozzle?

I looked, but could not see a little swivel ball type nozzle.

Thanks

You can just use your fingers to aim the jet body up/down, it's really easy as the jets are quite large and easy to get to.

They are fan jets and do not have a ball with a hole it it.

on mine (mk4 cupra) the nozzles can be directed by either pushing the jet up or down. will try and get a picture some stage today to explain what i mean, but is really easy to do

In the manual it says to take it to your nearest dealer as there is a special tool for the job lol!

I have the same problem with the passenger side - Wasn't sure if it was "gunked" up or just needing re-directed? They are mounted on the underside of the bonnet for info.

wow, that was quick! I've managed to adjust the jet upwards using my finger, pretty obvious if you know how Thanks.

It seems that one of the jets are partially blocked as the jet is squirting on one side, not fanning. I have taken out and tried to clean with pin, but still the same. Have swapped them over so the good one is on the driver side. Due MOT soon, so will need to replace the other one.

Where's the best place for these jets?

Thanks again

special tool, they no doubt have but I hate the way the manual tells you constantly to not do things yourself but go to your nearst dealer!

my passenger side one isnt fanning properly either. its been cleared of gunk but my dad (VAG technician) tells me they do fail, just have to get a new one sometime. not expensive.

seat/vw dealer went and got new ones the other day as mines stopped fanning £2 each, so not bank breaking

^^ How does the jet "clip" into the bonnet - I checked mine before coming home and it wasn't attached!? It was just balancing on the scuttle panel.

I tried to clip it in but it wouldn't stay for some reason?
