Mocca, could this be the technical way to do it, just use a pin but do not forget the set position will be different when driving - Dave

They're not adjustable according to the service manual. Check for blockages by removing the nozzles. The owner's manual says if wax blocks the nozzle, a small pin or needle may clear it. If the spray pattern is incorrect the nozzle must be replaced.

If you use a thin bladed instrument (e.g. one half of pair of tweezers) you can adjust the angle of the jet up or down.It is a narrow slot, not a hole so a pin wont do. It is a very coarse adjustment so a slight movement will make quite a difference, but i successfully managed to adjust the drivers side jet on our car which was too low.
As per service manual, not adjustable. But there is a way. To align jet washers, pop the bonnet, with a flat blade screwdriver push the tab on the front of the washer jet and prise the jet out the skuttle panel. Now with a flat bladed screwdriver turn the slot on the side of the jet to the required amount either anti clockwise for up or clockwise for down. Re fit and test. Repeat if necessary.

Thanks for tip but be careful with the flat screwdriver. There is a notch at base of washer jet at the back. I thought logically insert blade here and prise out. No this didn't work and I put nasty gouges on surrounding nozzle and panel. I had to insert blade gently underneath front of nozzle and also at the top in the side gap and this dislodged nozzle. Screw adjustment on side of nozzle only up/down, no lateral adjustment.duncho wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2016 8:30 pm As per service manual, not adjustable. But there is a way.
