Right, i've just uploaded the pics, waiting for them to be approved. I'll put them in the MK2 section under a new topic, so everyone can see!

YEah, it will all work fine, just make sure if your keeping the originals you'll need the three way connectors, if not, it'll be just a case of unplug old, plug in new. Don't know how easy it will be to fit them though... At least if you get stuck, try my method, as its easy and works very well. Post up some pics when your all done yeah?

well. i got the pug jets, and they just clip in place of the old ones with a little gap shwing on the front and back as theye are a little shorter, nothing that can't be fixed :)

They looked good, but when i tested them the spray just hits the very bottom of my screen :(

Because the 206 has a much more angled screen and the jets are further away they worked fine, but not on the golf.  And there is no adjustment on the nozzle :(

I have a few choices now!

1) makes something up to increase the angle of the washer jet, could be tricky though and it may stick uo to much

2) place the ket belw the grill on the bonnet somhow and hope the jets pas through the holes fine

3) A BIT WAY OFF BUT, I have a single wiper conversion so I have two holes with gromits in on either side :) the jets could go in ther I guess but may look rubish

What do you think? Any other ideas?

Try putting something underneath the front of them, its surprisiong how little it will have to be raised, i had to do that with my rear washer jet. If not, then theres always a way that is easy and is guaranteed to work...... you know the way!

Got some "turbo" washer jets coming from egay, they boast a delta pattern, which I am asuming from the greek alphabet they have a flat trianglar spray pattern like i want.  And they are adjustable :)

I'll let you know
