Can you adjust the washer jets to a different area of the screen

In the drivers side bottom corner i have a dry area which does not get wet when washing leaving a patch of road grime.

I have tried to adjust the jet with a pin and have bent 3 of them and it still doesn't move.

I now presume they are preset Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Hi npinks - glad your icon has stopped wriggling around!!

I see that the handbook says use a needle to adjust the washer jets.
Maybe a pin is too weak.

it was a larger style pin that i used and there was just no movement Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I bent a few also then tried thin-nosed pliers on the pin very close to the jet aperture - needs a shove!

Hey npinks, it was not that 'is it in?' pin, was it?
Sorry mate but I just couldn't help it...

Btw, can you please email me the rest of your avatar (and yep I mean the top part)?

I had exactly the same untouched area of the windscreen and have successfully adjusted the right-most jet by using a brass pin from a picture hook.

I had to use substantially more force than I've had to use on any other car.

I'm starting to find some more substantial pin, might see if i have a spare picture hook  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Would a roll and square slice with tatty scone be enough do you think?

I'm on my 3rd FL2 from the nice people at Thrifty and everyone I have had to adjust the jets. Surely you'd have thought this would have been spotted at the PDI. Anyway I always use a pin of an old birthday badge. You need to insert it in about an inch and hold the pin near the nozzle to get it freed up. Once it's freed it seem to move about fairly easily.


Happy Christmas

Thanks all! I have had the same complaint and now have a project to try and correct this.

Remember this?

"With the graveyards full, the prisons full, and complaints about green house gases (so you can't burn them), where would you put the bodies ? At least we have the right vehicles to bury well deep into the forest. Positive side is that blue bells thrive in well fertilised woodland !"


Now GeeTee is renting fl2's from thrifty on a regular basis! Whats that all about? Has he been making a few people disappear?

Found the best tool to use and have good and accurate purchase on the nozzle is a torx head tool with hole for the pin which then fits closely over the complete nozzle
