New rear washer jet doesn't fit

[silasramsbottom]

I've bought two rear washer jets - one from a dealer and another from eBay. Both new jets have the same part number on them as the old jet, but neither of them fit - both are slightly too tight.

 

Could the part number have changed? The new jets are identical, just slightly narrower where the push in.

Looking at the parts listing there are certain chassis number divisions https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/octavia/oct/2007-419/9/955-955030/  & https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/octavia/oct/2007-419/9/955-955031/

When I changed mine it was tight, had to really push it hard for it to fit.

Just replaced mine. It was very tight. A wee bit wood on the top and a gentle tap with a hammer and it popped right on.

Tried both suggestions and it Still wouldn't fit properly. So I briefly took a 5mm drill to its inside and now it fits.
