What to Expect:

The jets are plastic nozzles that are located right at or near the middle of your hood. These nozzles must spray the windshield washing solution at varying levels of your driving speed. So proper alignment of these nozzles is absolutely critical for the system to work.

A properly aligned windshield washer jet allows you to quickly remove mud and other impediments that would normally get stuck on your windshield. Some of the symptoms that may make you think that the jets are misaligned may actually be due to dirt, ice and other objects that may clog up the nozzle. Also if you use water in the windshield washer reservoir in a temperature that is below freezing, your entire windshield washer system may not operate properly and that will include your jets.

Keep in mind:

  • The jets are the one part of your windshields cleaning system that are completely exposed to the elements. Ice, dirt, leaves, wax, and other objects can easily clog them up.

  • The jets that make up your windshield washer system are usually made out of plastic. These plastic jets also have nozzles on their very back that spray the windshield washer solution onto your windshield, and it doesn’t take much for these nozzles to have an object that dislodges them from their proper position. Older vehicles in particular can have the washer jets misaligned due to the wearing out of glue and other fasteners that keep the jets in their proper place.

Our recommendation:

If the nozzles on your jets appear to be spraying in the wrong direction, or not spraying at all, the jets may need to be adjusted. However this can also be due to the deterioration of the washer tubes or even a windshield washer reservoir that needs replacement. If your washer jets won’t adequately clean your windshield glass, have one of our top-rated mechanics inspect the entire cleaning system. This way you can have the source of the system quickly identified and repaired. For most cars, the cost of replacing your washer tubes, jets, and other related parts is very reasonable. So keep that in mind.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to adjust the windshield washer jets?

  • Liquid spraying onto areas that are nowhere near the front of your windshield
  • The nozzle of the jets pointing in the wrong direction.
  • Looseness of the washer jets. The ability to easily move the jets from their proper position.

How important is this service?

Vision is one thing you should not compromise on when it comes to your daily driving. In the case of windshield washer jets, you’re adjusting a part that isn’t costly and can make a world of difference when it comes to safety. If you find that the washer jets are not spraying your fluid where it needs to go, then invest in a proper inspection.

Volkswagen Golf L4-2.0L - Brake System Flush - San Leandro, California
Steve arrived at my drive-way on time and he is very nice and friendly. He explained to me how he would do the brake fluid flush on my VW Golf. He bled out all the old brake fluid and air from each of the brake lines on each wheel one by one as he said he would and filled the main reservoir with fresh O'Reilly DOT 3 brake fluid from a new bottle. Steve did the job quickly and checked my car here and there for routine visual inspection and let me know everything was fine. However, the next day I was checking the level of the brake fluid to see if it is still at the right level for curiosity, just to make sure there is no leak or anything and I realized that the main brake fluid reservoir specifically stated " must use DOT 4 brake fluid". Went online and check to see if there is any adversary effect on my brake system in my VW if DOT 3 is used. Most said yes and some said no. The main difference between DOT 3 and DOT 4 is the boiling point. DOT 3 has a lower dry and wet boiling points than DOT 4 and it is cheaper, meaning lower quality in general. I am happy with Steve's service, but not happy with the part he put in my car. I wanted to maintain the good health of the ABS braking system by doing a brake fluid flush, but now it is more like the opposite since I paid someone to put the wrong brake fluid in the system now.
