Headlamp washer nozzle

Featured Replies

Can anyone advise the part number for the passenger side headlamp washer nozzle on a post facelift Yeti?

 

Looking to replace a broken unit. 

 

Any advice on where to get one and how these can be fitted would be appreciated.

 

A friend had a minor bump and brought the car to me to look at and hopefully polish out the scratches and try to refit the cover. It now looks much better, but the reason the cover doesn't stay in place is due to one of the jets has snapped off and hence there is nothing for the cover to clip onto.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If they're not too expensive I'd like to repair it for them if at all practical, my good deed for the month.

 

Thanks to all in advance.

 

Regards, Neil

Thank you, that was quick!

 

I think so looks like I need the left lift cylinder.

 

I'm assuming that because it comes as a complete unit and appears to include both the hose attachment and needs to be screwed in place, that this won't be a simple plug and play fit. How easy are these to fit and what do I have to remove to access (bumper? headlamp? etc)

 

Thanks again. Regards, Neil

Did they change the design at some point. Most of the items I can find online appear to have 2 slots where the head meets the cylinder whereas the ones fitted on the car seem to be a single unit.

 

I had hoped the jet head would simply twist/pull off and it would be a very straightforward job. I'm wondering if VAG have also realised this and modified the design.

 

Struggling to find a left cylinder in the UK or anywhere at anything approaching a reasonable price.

 

Any advise of where to get one and how to fit?

 

Are you sure one of the nozzles wasn't lost in the impact, and it was originally a twin-nozzle set-up?

I don't know if they changed the part ever but I have replaced these on both sides last year on a 2011.

 

To remove them the passenger side is more of a pain to get to.

 

I'm going from memory so forgive me. Remove the airbox and associated pipe that sits in just behind the grill. Then you can get to them. The cylinders have 2 plastic tabs that clip it into a plastic housing. You need to lift both the plastic tabs at the same time and the you can pull the washer cylinder out towards the engine bay. I used plastic pry tools and watch sized screw drivers to keep the tab wedged up on one side while I could release the other. Once released from the housing, you'll need to manipulate the cylinder washer head through the housing by moving it on an angle as it's too wide to get through the hole in the housing.

 

The cylinder is connected to the washer pipe and secured with a blue plastic tab which you just lift up and off. Then just pull off the pipe.

 

If you have a feel on the drivers side there is more room to feel and see what I'm on about.

 

On a 2011 this part fitted mine.

Thanks to all for your contributions.

 

Based on the fact the part was going to cost £40-50 and it isn't a straightforward job (and it isn't my car), I've abandoned the idea of a proper repair. 

 

A thin length of bungie cord threaded through the fascia plate and hooked over the body of the nozzle seemed to do a reasonable job. Hopefully that will keep things in place when it gives the lamps (half) a squirt.

 

Thanks again.
