Default washer jets

Hi guys my washers packed up working a couple of weeks ago. I cleaned them out and now have the drivers side working but not passengers side. Does anyone know where I can get a new set from as all I can find on eBay are chrome led ones. It's a 54 plate blob.

I bought some of those fan ones.....about 6 months ago.........haven't got round to fitting them yet........

I would think a main dealer will be your only bet for standard ones.

Try soaking the old ones in some paintbrush cleaner over night, then rinse in boiling water and blow out from the front....never blow through, just drives the muck deeper into the jets.

I changed mine to ones from a Citreon something.... anyway the spray pattern is actually a misty pattern and spreads the washer fluid evenly around the window.

Yeah, they are called mist washer jets.

Swapped them off an Insignia onto our Astra.

Yeah I visited the Citreon mist washer jets, so much better the coverage is over the whole screen.
I modified mine a bit as at high speed they wasn't as good at hitting the middle to top halve of the screen

Got some small plastic washer from B&Q from the plumbing section, filed them down one end and a bit in the middle to give them a slant, sprayed them matte black fitted them under the washer jet!
Now the washer jets fire must a bit higher up and better when at 60mph+

Took a few goes to get the position just right

While your at it get some more for the ic water spray,the original ones just drip but you can get better coverage if you use windscreen jets.
