I have just had to replace the passenger side washer jet on my car again. This time two of the jets decided to wash the moon while the other two were aimed correctly. I assume it was due to grit or grot.

Now, a while vs k I picked up some Citroen C1 fan jet nozzles which I frankensteined onto 156 bases. The thing was no glue would hold the two parts together. Which was a shame as the result was really good.

Therefore, are there any alternative washer jet systems that fit the 156s holes, and give a pleasing fan effect? Or at least don't have the crappy design that is lacking individual adjustment and is rubbish?

My GT washers were full of gunk and not working. I had a set of brand new 156 washers from when I had the GTA back in 2008 and so I have fitted them for my trip to italy. I'm fitting the mito ones on my return so if you want them for a fiver you can have them. They work perfectly! :)

It' the heating element that is important andy. Our cars don't have the wiring while 147 does.

They don't matter surely? Just don't bother plugging them in. That said, I'm sure a splice into the rear heated screen wiring could be done to get them working properly?

The hole is big on a 156. Few other fittings will fit the hole without falling through.

Hopefully they'll be fine, My brother's Stilo has the same nozzles as my old standard 147 ones.
