removing and cleaning windscreen washer jets.

Post by northantsandy »

I am rubbing down and eventually spraying my van, can anyone help me with removal of the washer jets. Do they pull off from the outside or do they undo from under the dash.
Thanks in advance

Twist them through about 45deg and pull out.
You will knacker them by removing them so you'll have to buy new ones.
Don't drop the pipe into the bodywork, it's a bugger of a job getting it back.

I put Peugot 607 washer jets on mine.

Rubbing down the van is so much easier with them out of the way and an orbital sander at hand too. Thanks very much.

Easy does it with the orbital sander! You may well score crescent shapes into the existing paint that won't be noticeable until all the nice shiny new paint is on.
