Wanted A8 D2 FL Headlight Washer Jet Mechanism with silver cover / cap !
Have already tried our sponsors and they have none in stock so just chancing my arm that someone on here has the following :
WANTED !!! A8 D2 FL Headlight Washer Jet Mechanism with silver cover / cap if possible ? Mine comes up but no water is propelled onto the headlight, and the silver coloured cap has broken off and has been lost. Need it to pass an MOT in a couple of weeks time. Haven't priced from Audi but I'm sure I wouldnt want to pay what they would ask. LOL Any help appreciated ! |

I was giving the damn things away until I realised how rare and expensive they are when I wanted one myself I had to buy A8parts' last one for £lots
They are obsolete from Audi and £lotsmore when they did exist. Its a future project to figure out how to retrofit something newer. I'd try removing it and soaking it in vinegar overnight. It may just be scaled up. |

I will have a look. There is a slim chance I still have one after my front bumper was replaced, there was something left in a box but can't remember what it was!
I know I have a cap in Agate grey somewhere if that's of use, would need spraying to the correct colour. EDIT: This is the part I have 4D0955101A - Pressure cylinder for headlight washer as shown in the photos attached.

Could even deliver them to you if you want. MJ - Could I just attach a hose pipe to them to test they work?

Yeah a hose pipe or an air line will do it. A certain amount of pressure will cause the jet to lift up then increasing pressure further will start to spray.

Last time I spoke to Maria about these, the cylinder was still available for £90 ish, but the spray jet was NLA. I didn't check whether you can get the jet out once its assembled though, so it might be possible to re-use the jet from an old one, since its usually the cylinder which leaks.

With my lack of knowledge I simply assumed the cylinder came complete with washer jet, but since you have posted the picture I'm now assuming it comes in two parts. The last time I bought one from our sponsors the cylinder and washer jet complete cost me £30 and I just replaced it, so never knew they came apart. Having said that, that purchase was made in 2013, and our sponsors now charge £59.99 or best offer on ebay for the part now ! My cylinder does seem to work ok but the washer jet must have been damaged when the cap broke off and went missing. So in all fairness I don't think your cylinder would help me but i appreciate you taking the time to post. Thank you !!!! Last edited by Ricky22buk; 19th March 2019 at 11:38 AM. |
