insignia washer jets
« on: 30 August 2010, 21:34:29 »
I've seen mention of these ......... but senility means I can't now find it. :-[   They are on eBay for around £5 for the pair clicky  How does that compare with the dealer's price?

Fan shaped spray pattern which wets the screen better and results in lower screen wash useage

Not to bad, drivers side is hardest.

You have to swap the heaters over to (not essential but the insignia does not have washer heaters)

Trouble with HID's is you still use about 3 litres every night time trip when there's spray from the road!!!

Weve got loads of photos....intended doing a how2

May try and finish at newent, or here

The trickiest bit iirc was removing the heater from the old to glue into the new ones.

H21 used a hacksaw blade and sliced down the originals to extract the blue heating element.  :y
