Hi all
Opel Omega B 2:0L CD 16v 1995 Estate LHD
Ok the washer nozzle on the passenger side has just been dribbling water for a while now, i have tried to clean the nozzles with a pin and also connected the pipe to a compressor and blasted air through it, in the hope off clearing it, all failed to clear it.
So i went out and brought a new one from Opel.
I went out to the car to replace it, only to find that the one on the car although looks the same as the new one from the top (outside of bonnet) underneath the bonnet the one on the car has 2 wires going to it and looks a fair bit bulkier that the new one. The new one has no wires on it.
I have not took the old one out yet as it will probably break when i do, but what are the wires for? does the new one sit in to the collar that the wires are connected to or have i brought the wrong part. Is the collar some sort of heater or something?
The Haynes book just says to disconnect the wires and press the tabs in to remove the nozzle.
Thanks for your replies

The wires are for heating it for when it is very cold

Some Omegas have heated nozzles, some dont. Thats what the wires are for...

Ok thanks, is it just a heating collor or is it a complete unit nozzle and heater in one?
