Hi guys,

 

quick questions. How your washers go? How many jets of water do you have from one nozzle? I think something is wrong with both of mines.  I enclose video of mine as an attachment …

Mine is Fabia 2018 before facelift, but I´m almost sure that the one which I used to have as a company car, Fabia 2019 after facelift had more jets which worked like a spray through the whole window.

 

Even Citigo, if you look here from 4:08 has wider spray that mine Fabia.

 

 

Am I crazy and the 2019 which I had, had the same or something is wrong with mines?

 

Sorry for lot of questions at this forum recently. I did buy the car few weeks ago and trying to figure out what is normal and what is not. The car is still under manufacturer warranty, so when it became hotter outside (when I don’t mind to walk or use public transport) I will send it to the Skoda Garage with a list of issues :-D

 

 

VW Group have changed the washer spray designs a few times over the years, after the later "mist/fan" spray heads there were the "3 jets" which you could make out the 3 small jets on the spray heads, then a better "fan" spray head, VW Group introduced these changes at different times across the marques and within each marque's models.

 

Lots and lots of people have changed the type of spray heads over to improve things, so far I have not found the need on the 2011 S4 or the 2015 Polo, nor have I worked out which variant is in each car.

I have seen your reply in my another tread stating that the washer is not what I want to expect from the car, so here we come...

 

I know, that´s for Seat Leon for example. 3 jets with no spray. It can be seen bellow as a guy is replacing it with the one with spray. Cut picture in the attachment. 

 

 

 

But mine ones look exactly like the new ones which he is putting in. 

 

I´m gonna ask like that. Can this part even be damaged? Is it just a piece of plastic isn´t it? Because the whole story is this.

 

I bought the car recently in an authorised Skoda Garage / Dealership in the really cold weather and they either forgot to pour the winter washer fluid there or left it completely empty. I drove out on the highway and found out that it did not spray at all. So I drove to the nearest gas station, I bought 3 litters -20 washer and poured it all out there (and it would take even more). Well, it still didn't spray, while the motor was working (I could hear it) and I didn't want to burn the motor (but anyway it would be the motor and not a nozzle / nozzles), but I kept trying it and pushed the controller a little longer. Well, after that the one on the passenger side started to work and after couple of minutes the one at the driver side but both just like that. So, I don't know if there was anything to break at this point…

 

I can easily make RMA claim about it in any official Skoda Garage (the car is still under the factory warranty), but I have to be sure that there are originals nozzles. It would be really embarrassing if they took it out and found there Topran or something like that :-D But the "problem" is that, unlike the guy in the video, I have the nozzles heated and I have no option to pull it out so much like him in his video at 2:45 . The heating cable is mega short, I can take it out just for a few cm and I'm literally afraid that when I unplug the heating cable, it will go back into that hole in the hood and I will never (I certainly and don't know who, if anyone) pull it back. I don't know if it's tensed up or so accurate…: - /

 

So, I bought both heated non-originals nozzles for about 18 GBP (original 50 GBP) and they work nicely as a spray.

 

I just want to ask how to adjust the height? I know that by adjusting the screw. But I mean, how high do you have the nozzles set to spray? I set it according to the original ones and when the car does not move, it sprays even on the roof and drops on driver and front passengers’ seats as well.

 

Is it ok, or should I put them a bit lower? But if set really low, that it could be problem in higher speeds like countryside and highways, couldn’t be?

I don't think that I've had any cars with the front washers aimed so that they spray up onto the roof when not moving, certainly slightly higher than half ways seems to work for me.
