fan jet washers

[kevs aw11]

Hi
just wondering if there are fan jet washers available for the mk1
thanks kev

We have started using the Volvo S40 & S60 ones in the MK2, not sure if they would be any good in the MK1

I needed a new washer jet late last year for my Mk1 and had looked at Mk2 ones, but they're quite a bit bigger. If you definitely wanted to do it you would have to increase the size of the holes in the bonnet and also possibly cut a hole through the webbing underneath the bonnet below the washer jet holes for the pipe to connect on to and to give easier access.

Also, using toyodiy.com it suggests that the Mk1 washer jets are unique to the Mk1.

Keep us updated with your findings.

HTH.

Cheers,
Tom

When I get my Volvo ones delivered I'm more happy to take some measurements for people if that would help?

I have no clue if they are bigger or smaller than the standard mk2 ones tbh

The yaris ones are weaker, give poor flow and are substantially bigger than the standard mk2 ones sitting proud on the bonnet. Just food for thought

Hi karl
what about the paseo I am sure they had a similar bonnet need to do more research

I have moved the washer jets to the wiper arm using washer jets from a Mercedes Sprinter rear wiper arm.

Very interesting idea Eric

[KarlBristol]

Have you got any pictures - I've looked at doing this before...

I'd be intrigued to see it - aren't the wiper arms from the Sprinter a little bulky?

I may be wrong but think Eric has found a way of attaching Sprinter nozzles to the MR2 arms

Can't find any relevant pics at the mo

Yes, I mounted only the nozzels from the Sprinter to the original MR2 wiperarms. It was a bit tricky to route the water hoses out of sight but the result is very decent. Will take some pictures when I come to my shed again next week.

I look forward to the pictures
This is the only other thing I've ever seen that seems to come close:

I have found universal connector for jets to arms but I'm not sure what it would look like/spray like

My mate on his E30 used one big wiper blade and moved the motor to the centre of the windscreen, and then used a bus type method with hose going up the arm and sprays along the blade.

Googled for pictures of the washer nozzels I´ve used and found a picture of them:

Moved my MR2 out of his shed it was parked the last 10 years, gave it a good wash and didn´t forgot the pictures of my washer nozzels modification I´ve promised.

As told, very decent and difficult to notice:

Looks a neat fitment Eric

How did you feed the pipes through into the boot (trunk) ?

[XLarge]

Will take a picture of that (with the trunk open) . Forgot the details as ten years gone in the meantime. But I´ve used existing holes and didn´t drill a additional one to the shell.

[elbon50]

These seem to be similar nozzles to the ones you used Eric ?

Seem to be a bit similar to the one I´ve used. The Merc parts I´ve choosed have four outlets, one on each corner.
