Citroen Mist washer jets

[lewisloo]

Guys
after a bit of advice, bought some C3 misters for my 200, all fitted and even changed the short pipes to them with new ones but dont seem to be working very well, the water just about reaches the bottom of the screen even at speed, could this be a blockage somewhere or could the pump do with changing? did blow down the tube and seem to be clear.

Check the rubber hose hasn't split where it connects to the jet

Did you bought genuine one? I had same problem with cheap ones...

Checked that and it's all ok as that is the pipe I changed as I thought it might me that the old pipe was kinked

not genuine so may be the problem, but the original jets that were fitted I thought were always a bit gash

I bought genuine ones for C3, they about 6-7 quid from ebay. You have to cut bit of plastic but they fit OK.

What sort of pressure do you get from the rear one as it just seems to be a trickle on mine?

I bought ones for an Alfa Romeo, had to trim them slightly to fit right but their great. When stationary the mist nearly clears the screen completely but when moving are perfect, we're about £7 a pair for genuine ones.

Oh, i didn't change rear one

Sorry I meant with the original fitted rear one, as I think it might be a pressure problem, so might get the motor out and make sure that there is no blockage in it

 

[boorek]

With orginal one is really weak pressure on rear

 

[lewisloo]

Just ordered some genuine ones as I have removed the motor and all seemed ok

All sorted, genuine ones are the way to go, alot better and actually reach the screen!!
