Right Guys,
This mod has the "Best Of Type" award.
SWMBO used the windscreen washers this morning and went "Wow, what have you done, these are the greatest".
I told her it was her Valentines Day present, only got one slap for that, I must be in her good books for once.

I thought you got more slaps on Valentine's day - just in a different place to the rest of the year

Brilliant.

I need to adjust mine.
They are two high and missing the bottom of the screen.

I wonder what's next

Hi guys, sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'd like to upgrade to fan washers too - I much prefer them.

My question is, if my car already has triple washers, do I need to order the spacers, or will the fan washers just fit straight on?

You will need the spacers, the fan jets were a skoda part so I bought mine from tps as I needed some Audi stuff at the same time.

Audi dealer in my experience won't sell other brand parts.

Del is correct, spacers required.
I bought my fan jets at the local Skoda, spacers came with them.

Silly question time: I get that I'm going into an Audi dealer and asking for washer spacers to retrofit triple-jet washers... Reading the part number of an earlier pic it looks like 8F0 953 431.

However, when I go into my local Skoda dealer and ask for a set of heated washers, what car do I say they're for? Should I quote a particular part number instead?

Did I miss it in this thread?

@ScottD3

Did you have a set of spacers left as you only put on one side as apposed to both?

I saw this for the A6, assume it's the same
