A6 fan type washer jets fit b8?

[Audigit]

OK so I've just received mine and it looks like the angle of the spray is adjustable with a small torx screwdriver - so no worries about the spray angle being wrong .

Will fit at lunchtime and report back.

The torx bit needed is a T9

Thanks very much. Last question - Do Audi label these left / right from the driver's perspective (i.e Left being nearside / passenger side of windscreen) or as you're looking at the front of the car (Left being the off side/driver's side of the screen)?

When you remove yours you will see that yours are sides too so just replace the sides like for like. In other words, I can't remember lol

That's embarrassingly obvious..my only excuse lies in the fact I didn't sleep last night watching the election.

I'll go fix myself an extra strong coffee!

Thanks for the prompt response.

Ha ha, don't worry, I've only owned my B8 a month and it's my first VAG car so I know next to nothing about them. I didn't even know they were sided until I took my old ones off!

Just ordered a set of these from my local Audi garage. They were 19 odd quid and they will be in tomorrow morning, so if anyone wants to save a few quid. Mind you I'll probably do a fiver in petrol driving there!

@Audigit I've not even looked at mine yet where do you put the T9 to adjust them ?

Not bad for a newbie who knew almost ****** all about Audi a month ago ha ha. Go me.

Well, ****** all apart from work related stuff.

I'm still chuffed with these new washers, it's a small thing but makes an impact on the enjoyment of the car as a whole.

@Audigit cheers hopefully get them fitted on Sunday

 

[Ibis Rob]

May have a go at this mod. Cheap and cheerful

 

[Natebrand1987]

just ordered fitting saturday

 

[gary_a4_quattro]

Had 10 mins spare yesterday afternoon, popped the new ones on. As mentioned above the spray pattern is a hybrid of the 3 jet and a full fan, sort of 3 mini fan jets, I'll try and get a pic later.

All good, a big improvement especially with the yucky weather fast approaching - except the r/h one has the centre spray missing ? Have ordered a replacement from TPS, will swop over when it arrives.

 

[AU11 ALS]

Mine have arrived, just got to get car back from the additional work then I can fit!

So much better.
You used less water too. Which is handy if your car is on a water meter.

And they are heated, use the same plug for the heating element?

 

[the_muzza]

Yes exact same plug connection. To be honest they aren't really as great as people are making out. There are still three distinct jets on my passenger side one and a tiny bit of mist spray, and the drivers side only has two jets. I don't personally think they are worth spending 20quid on. My standard ones worked perfectly fine with three jets. These aren't fan spray like some others I have seen, it's like a hybrid of thr two, leaning more towards the three jets style than the fan. Had I seen them in operation before buying them I would have spent the money on something else for sure.

Hmmm, wonder if this is how they are s'posed to be ? I thought my drivers side one was faulty, as it only had the 2 jets, so have ordered a replacement - might be having to eat a slice of umble pie if this is how they are !

 

[Lavis89]

I just fitted mine, wasn't massively impressed tbh, although i have got to adjust them so they're spraying a bit higher, at least they were reasonably cheap

 

[Darren92]

Can someone post a video of them working?

 

[Lavis89]

I'll be able to get one for you tomorrow, too dark now

 

[Bulldog]

Fitted mine today & as other have said not really worth changing.

?

 

[Lavis89]

My bad, dropped the ball on the video. Although i have noticed its the spray pattern fans out more if you spray whilst driving

 

[Gooders]

It's not an amazing mod that said it does ensure the wiper is fully lubed

Results are not as good as people make out but it is a slight improvement

 

[Darren92]

Any videos yet ... ?

 

[DeanoC]

I'm fitting mine later and will do standstill and moving comparisons

100% worth it as it is an improvement over the standard ones and will make winter driving that little bit easier.

Agreed that not everyone will think it's a huge jump but if you're a casual driver then maybe you wouldn't notice the difference, a regular or heavy driver will notice.

Besides, little differences make a better bigger picture

Your before video has surprised me, I had forgotten how poor the old jets were, I only used them a couple of times before I swapped to the A6 ones mind lol

Yes they were pretty bad. I'd imagine the difference is more pronounced the quicker you go too.

I was going to buy these, then people said they're no good so I changed my mind. Now after seeing the video I think I'll go to toe and get some bought!

 

[ANDYTQ]

I fitted passat ones to my b7 ,which I still have ,so I may swap them over to the s4.
