Washer jets for flushed bonnet?
« on: 09 July 2012, 20:48 »
The Vento bonnet I have now fitted has got the washer jet holes filled so the next question is what do I use to fit washer jets under the bonnet?

Do I fit ones that clip under the bonnet, clip to the plastic scuttle panels or do I drill into the scuttle and fit screw fit washer jets?

Is there any jets that fit that I can re-use the heated jet wiring?

You can buy a kit that fits the washers on the arms/blades themselves.I had one msyelf many years ago,would'nt be difficult to make one though.

Was it an easy job and did they fit between the windscreen and the vertical piece that runs from wing to wing???

You can get washer jets in halfords that bolt on, just drill the scuttle panel / cover.

Just use the mk4 ones and hotglue them onto the scuttle, they give a nice spray pattern aswell instead of just a jet.
