Washer Jet Upgrade

Post by kevcorks »

Hi all

I'm needing to replace my washer jets for the front of my van, and while i can get them new for £6 each at JK. However , is there an upgrade option that will fit and give me a better spray pattern.

Thanks

Early smart car ones

Triple spray jets and you'll need two cars worth, they are very impressive

If you go and buy a pair of Bosch SP24KS, they come with washer that clip into the blade, these can be transferred onto your vans blades, and run a washer hose up the arm to them through a grommet in the front panel. ive put them on mine and they are amazing!

Other option is some Peugeot jets, I believe 308. I could be wrong though.

The problem with most car ones is that they are too low and you can't get the spray angle high enough

I find the original ones on the van are more than adequate.

These have enough enough clearance from the screen to do the job properly. Back in stock soon. http://campervanculture.com/shop/twin-w ... 5-vanagon/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Likewise, just make sure you have enough screen wash in and it's not a problem!
