Wrong mist jets? - W1ll - 07-04-2013
Just bought some most jets and fitted them but they spray right at the very bottom of my window.. These aren't adjustable so where have I gone wrong?
RE: Wrong mist jets? - Toms306 - 07-04-2013
You bought the wrong ones. You want the ones with the part number ending 'v8'. Something like 6438 V8 iirc.
RE: Wrong mist jets? - Strikeforce - 07-04-2013
Get the ones tom says they are the correct ones
RE: Wrong mist jets? - cwspellowe - 07-04-2013
Or.. go to the scrappies, find a Xsara, put jets in pocket.

RE: Wrong mist jets? - Toms306 - 07-04-2013
How do you get them out of scrap cars though? I kept breaking them so just bought some new ones lol.
RE: Wrong mist jets? - cwspellowe - 07-04-2013
Erm, same way you take the old ones off your 306? Under the bonnet there's two barbed bits you pinch together and push the jet out..?
I know your mechanical skills are woeful Tom but even Eli managed to do a guide on them
RE: Wrong mist jets? - Toms306 - 07-04-2013
I smashed the old ones off with a crosshead screwdriver and hammer from underneath....plastic clips and I really dont get on well. They werent servicable after I'd removed them....
RE: Wrong mist jets? - W1ll - 07-04-2013
Ive just bought xsara ones.. and they point at the bottom of the windscreen

These are the correct ones

RE: Wrong mist jets? - W1ll - 07-04-2013
Whats different between them ones and the xsara ones I have? :/ if theyre definitely the ones ill get them but already 6quid down on some mist jets :p
RE: Wrong mist jets? - Strikeforce - 07-04-2013
The difference is how they are aimed
Picasso ones aim lower down on our cars because of the difference in height of the windscreen the ones from the xsara are a better match and cover the whole windscreen
RE: Wrong mist jets? - W1ll - 07-04-2013
Is this something i could complain about on the link i put up of the ones i bought as i was told they would be good for a 306 fitment but theyre not..?
So defo them ones ^^^ (before i go and buy them :p)?
RE: Wrong mist jets? - Toms306 - 07-04-2013
The ebay link strikeforce put up says the correct part number yes.
RE: Wrong mist jets? - W1ll - 07-04-2013
Positive?

100% the right number.
Whether they supply the ones with that number though or just chuck any old mist jets in hoping you don't notice is a different matter!
RE: Wrong mist jets? - W1ll - 07-04-2013
Ok i'll get them and check the part number before fitting incase they get returned! :p

wrong!
its the angle of the bonnet
the aiming is pre set in the jet plastic moulding
xsara is a car type shallow angled bonnet
xsara picasso is a people carryer steep angled bonnet

i had the same problem with peugeot
i took the correct numbers down an they still gave me the wrong ones in a open parts bag
had to take them back and they replaced them with an unopened bag with the correct numbers
RE: Wrong mist jets? - Connor - 07-04-2013
One of my mist jets has recently adjusted it aim lol completely over the screen
probably needs a blasting through and a clean
RE: Wrong mist jets? - Toms306 - 07-04-2013
I couldn't get mine from Peugeot....they sent me round to Citroen instead!
I did get the right ones first time there though.
RE: Wrong mist jets? - Connor - 07-04-2013
Peugeot do sell them, they come on the 307, thet probably just couldn't be assed
RE: Wrong mist jets? - Toms306 - 07-04-2013
No they just didn't have any in stock at the time lol. But their computers are linked to Citroën sovthey could see thier stock level.
RE: Wrong mist jets? - Niall - 07-04-2013
Just ordered some new ones. getting the hump with mine pointing at the bottom of the windscreen lol
RE: Wrong mist jets? - Dodgy Bob - 07-04-2013
I got them exact ones off that eBay link with the 6438V8 number, fitted them yesterday and they're spraying the bottom part of my screen too, should have double checked really but the ones they sent me came in a little baggie with Alfa Romeo, Lancia, and 1 other logo on but no mention of Citroen or Peugeot. Still clears the screen but just a little too low for my liking.
RE: Wrong mist jets? - cwspellowe - 07-04-2013
Mine are absolutely perfect and cover the entire screen.
I stoled them from a Xsara in a scrappy.
Stop wasting your money on "will they, wont they" washer jets and go and get some yourself, FFS.
