Tonight I when I cleaned the front window water gushed out of one side and trickled on the other.

On looking at the end of the nozzles the two fittings have slightly different inserts within the rectangled unit.

On one there is a raised inner piece within the rectangled unit. On the other the inner piece is flush with the outer.

Can someone check what the nozzle look like on their car.

Cheers.

Your wish is my command.




Nearside



Offside




They are identical to the touch.

Try gently pushing your raised inner piece in. Sounds like it's come adrift of the feeder pipe. Is that the side that's under-performing?

Cheers for the prompt reply.

I see that yours are slightly inset.

Tried to push the centre bit in but it wont move and I'm reluctant to push to hard.

I'll be passing dealers next week so I'll pop in and see them.

I wonder if this is why I only get the botton part of the screen covered in water when I spray.

If they're anything like my current dealership, they'll say to "book it in" :rolleyes:

If they're not, let me know their address :)

I guess if that's the side of your windscreen that doesn't get much bathing time, it could have been a problem right from the start (when you first reported the problem on here)?

I believe that is just a design feature.

Ok, finally got around to calling into the dealers.

Will replace the nozzles - under warranty- when I take it in for its 3 year service next month.

Yes 3 years how time flies..................

Do you remember this:

https://i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,3178.msg35334.html#msg35334

"I'm just contemplating a i30 CRDi 1.6 Style on Scrappage. It's either that or a 12 month old low mileage Focus for about the same money.

Picking a colour is going to be tricky though"
