How do you remove the washer jets on my S1?

Thanks in advance

Dunno

But a good while ago i added the citroen BX spraybar thing to the improved S2 wiper arm, and left the old ones teed in and they work really well as a sort of combined effort.

there is also a wire you can snip that removes the 4 or 5 compulsory wipes when washing which works for me.

(i know this doesn't answer the question but if you're removing to improve or clean out there are other options)

I also have the citroen spraybar mod on the s2 wiper arm, and just left the original jets there, though mine are no longer plumbed in so no combo effort.

I installed a VW (Skoda) relay which has a couple less compulsory wipes and allows programmable intermittent wipe.

Oh, plus I only really use my car when it's dry ;)

Yeah I've heard of other options, but really wanted to investigate keeping the whole lot as standard as possible. I've got an S2 arm and aero blade because they work better and look better, was gonna see how difficult it was to source replacement washer jets that were fan spray instead of water pistol

I could get mind back to standard in about 30 seconds. A cable tie holds the water pipe on the end of the spray bar and a further 2 cable ties hold the spray bar on ;-)

I recently saw the spray wiper on a jag x type I think it was, looked much neater..

I fitted a spray bar, but left the original washer jets in place, glad I did as the spray bar got blocked after the first couple of uses :roll:
