Adjusting rear washers

Featured Replies

I have a VRS TDi hatch (which I enjoy hugely) but when trying to clean my rear window the other day found that the water jets do not go anywhere near the actual rear window. How do I adjust these so that they actually work and direct water towards the screen. From what I can see there are two jets with one of them pointing towards the plastic housing and the other away from the window.

Cheers in advance

Not an answer I'm afraid, but does anyone know how to adjust the front ones? Cheers

I use a pin in the jet to adjust mine, takes some fiddling though to get them spot on.

I would second that method, its a bit of a pain to get your "aim right" but its the only way I know how to adjust them.

PS Cleaning my octy vRS last night, lifted the rear wiper to clean off the blade, and it came of in my hand ? . Seems to have gone back on OK ( I hope ) .

Cheers for the replies. I will try it out tonight when I get home.

Spent 15minutes tonight soaking everything within a 5 meter radius but finally got them adjusted to a reasonable level. However due to the curve of the rear window anyone overtaking me on the right will get a good soaking at the start. (but least it puts water on the screen for the majority of the sweep of the arm. Cheers again for the advice.

Don't forget that you really need to adjust them while driving to compensate for the effect of air flow :eek:
