Rear Washer Jet - Angle
« on: 19 November 2013, 20:07 »
Random question, but my rear screen washer jet comes out at a 45 degree angle rather than 90 degrees. Is that normal or a fault/misaligned washer? :-)

That normal mate, otherwise it would just go straight down the screen.

Fair - my old leon, it went straight 'up' at a 90 degree angle. :-)

The mk5 Golf used to do that, the jet was in the base of the wiper with a slot so it still worked when the wiper was moving, great bit of design imo, they're nout but trouble these days! >:(

Ahah - I had a MK2 Leon which was obviously a MK5 Golf in a different frock. Makes sense now. :-)
