Golf mk8 / Re: Mk 8 GTI rear screen wash jet.
« Last post by davo245 on 26 April 2025, 22:20 »Hi. It appears that on my MK8 GTI the rear screen washer only partially sprays water on to the wiped area; 50% of the water gets sprayed vertically down the screen outwith the swept area. I asked the dealer to check this when the car was in for a recent recall; they reported that the jet was adjusted OK, and that was the way the system was designed.
At the time i accepted this, but still find it strange that half the water is being wasted every time I clean the rear screen. Is there any way to adjust the jet? Turning to the left a few degrees would make all the difference and certainly clean the screen more efficiently.
I have this too makes no sense to me just needs pointing over to wiper area a bit more.
Thought it may be just my car but seems like sh!t VW design 😂

« Last post by WLT on 26 April 2025, 14:50 »Hi, I think I have similar issue since November, didn’t manage to actually look into it, it is really annoying as it is gets louder on a cold days. But feels like sounds comes from the area right under the small window .
I have one on the drivers door, i have located it right in the corner where the small glass section is towards the back of the dashboard.. there's a bit of trim that is not fixed on and when you press on it, it stops the rattle, it flexes and vibrates.. i think i need to put something discrete in there to stop it moving.
