Windscreen washer jets - Rusty2009 - 26:th-Feb-2015 Does anyone know if these can be changed for the old type that you could adjust with a pin? Reason is the drivers side always shoots over the car tried adjusting it I can't get any lower, I've also damaged it trying now. Windscreen washer jets - grahamfromoldham - 26:th-Feb-2015 I made a tool after googling it, identical to the one that Vauxhall sell but even that doesn't adjust them as well as I'd thought. It'd be interested to know if your idea is possible Rusty because its a downfall of the Astra J. Windscreen washer jets - tucpal - 26:th-Feb-2015 it all depends if they will fit in the hole on the scuttle panel it is the drivers side that seems to be badly positioned i found if you take it out and then push it back in but not all the way it will sit lower and the jet will then hit the windscreen perfectly Windscreen washer jets - Rusty2009 - 26:th-Feb-2015 I think the new ones are better for motorway driving but round town they are naff. I did use the tool the dealers use problem is its down as far as it will go. Tucpal I'd be more worried about it falling out it would just be luck. Windscreen washer jets - tucpal - 26:th-Feb-2015 no it holds fine been like that for a good while now works much better Windscreen washer jets - tucpal - 26:th-Feb-2015 it will sit just a few millimeters lower and then it hits the window and does not fly over the top of the car the adjuster just will not make the jet go low enough [video=youtube;lB576YCiRiE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB576YCiRiE&list=FLWbz_u8PCLgYjRRIrE9CDKA&index=1[/video] Windscreen washer jets - Rusty2009 - 26:th-Feb-2015 Nice one mate that looks better.

Windscreen washer jets - tucpal - 6:th-Mar-2015 sounds promising then Windscreen washer jets - Lewis6317 - 9:th-Mar-2015 nice, be good if it all works Windscreen washer jets - bhalay207 - 17:th-Mar-2015 Your not wrong, the washer jets are awful. I questioned whether they sprayed the windows at all! Windscreen washer jets - Rusty2009 - 19:th-Mar-2015 Here is a video showing a few different angles for the J & H washer jets needs a little more refinement but overall I much prefer the H ones. Windscreen washer jets - tucpal - 19:th-Mar-2015 they certainly hit the window now Windscreen washer jets - Lewis6317 - 19:th-Mar-2015 They are better Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Windscreen washer jets - kfayz - 6:th-May-2015 do the insignia ones fit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Vauxhall-Insignia-Windscreen-Washer-Jets-Spray-Nozzles-12782508-09-New-/151658625509?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item234f8ef9e5 RE: Windscreen washer jets - tucpal - 6:th-May-2015 there the same as the astra j has already RE: Windscreen washer jets - kfayz - 6:th-May-2015 I'll try to adjust them if didnt work ill get the h ones. RE: Windscreen washer jets - cornishtaz - 6:th-May-2015 The new corsa has a triple jet each side better than the H, I find my J ones ok RE: Windscreen washer jets - tucpal - 6:th-May-2015 have you got a link to them baz sounds interesting i must say i have only really heard 5 door members about the direction of the jets RE: Windscreen washer jets - cornishtaz - 6:th-May-2015 No link as only noticed today on my courtesy car. Will have to do some searching RE: Windscreen washer jets - tucpal - 6:th-May-2015 cheers mate RE: Windscreen washer jets - cornishtaz - 8:th-May-2015 Had a look at the Corsa washers and don't think theyfit the Astra as there fitted to the bonnet RE: Windscreen washer jets - tucpal - 8:th-May-2015 a much better location that is for sure RE: Windscreen washer jets - cornishtaz - 8:th-May-2015 Unfortunately doesn't look like they can be fitted to our cars
