Phoned Skoda Bolton, Yippee!!!!
2 x fan jets in stock for me.
I will now ask permission from SWMBO to borrow the car and collect them.
As for working in parts departments, YES. The joys of snooping around and handling all the new goodies. First dibs at special offers. I want

Got 'em. YES!!
Quick blast with the magic fingers and I have two Skoda heated fan windscreen washers fitted, adjusted (dead easy) and working correctly.
I now have a pair of twin jet and a pair of triple jet Audi windscreen washers looking for a good home.
Unfortunately I do not have any spacers left.
If nobody shows any interest I'll leave them in the car so they will be available at the Annual meet in Snowdonia.

Well done; I wonder if anyone knows of a similar solution for the D2?
(I discovered a while back that the fan spray nozzles for a Focus Mk3 fitted straight on my Mk1 and had the correct alignment too )

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?
