Has anyone ever tried to replace the windshield washer jets (three nozzles making six straight fluid jets) with something producing more of a dispersed spray? (like in new hondas, lexus, etc.) I always enjoyed that complete coverage of the windshield rather than only having six spots where the fluid is delivered and then spreading it around with wipers. Any ideas/comments about that?

My son has done this to his Peugeot and they now shower or rather mist the screen - very effective!

Do you know where did he get the nozzles? From what car? Or better, what car would be a good source for nozzles for 9-5?

 

[Chris 9-5]

I shall ask!

 

[Chris 9-5]

He said he used Citroen xsara ones. We do not yet know if they fit we will try this weekend and let you know!!

 

[walmark]

Excellent! I'll be looking forward to it

If they don't fit try VW Passat ones (my03 onwards). They have those fine mist jets that cover the screen so much better than OE washers.

And my neighbour has one of those very cars

Pool car at work. I thrash the nuts off it on a daily basis.....its compulsory. :cheesy:

 

[Chris 9-5]

I wonder if the misting is still effective at speed

Is it :cheesy:

 

[Kermit]

Haven't hit anything...........yet!

 

[walmark]

So, how do they work after the weekend? Do they fit 9-5 hood nicely?

 

[Kermit]

Already asked......it persisted down with rain all the weekend in the UK so no chance to try this mod.

I have ones from a newer Volvo, I think it's the X/V40.

i agree :cheesy:
i also dislike the spray type...the mist on the three GM cars we have are much better. (olds alero, chevy trailblazer, and Chevy astro) But the problem with those cars is they have the nozzles on the wiper arms...

I'm seriously interested of such mode,nothing to play with engine now-it means I have to tune something else.
