V50 General : - Rear washer

v40bart · Jul 8th, 2011, 21:28

Hello. I have a bit of a broblem with the rear screen washer. Can this be adjusted at all? Currently it sprays the road behind the car and hardly any fluid gets on the glass. I had a butchers but I can't see any way of adjusting it, unless I am that dim...

Advice welcome.

The old fashioned way (I still use it myself!) was to stick a pin in the washer jet and move the hole to the required position.

That was plan A but after approaching the car with a pin I found that the jet is like solid plastic bit and there is nothing I can see that can be aimed.

Must be something there. Get someone else in the car to press the button and watch where it comes from.
