Whilst washing my car this morning it seems that 1 of the headlight washer jets has lost both its little black jets.When I had a closer look at the other side it seems that those are also pretty knackered and look like they are due to become detached before long..assume must be salt and hard water causing them to perish.
How can I just replace the jets,if it is possible,or is it a bit more extreme a repair.
Can anybody advise how these are removed and replaced and if i can just get the jets..assume dealer prices will be comical but also think seconds might have same issues..also any idea of price from dealers and part number if available.
Thanks

Pppffff! Comical is not the word! ;D I think a figure of 40 pounds has been mentioned for replacement ::)
I've not heard of them deteriorating though. Perhaps scrapyard maybe your best option.

about £42 EACH :'(
if your lucky, you will win a pair on ebay for £30-£40

Thought I was in for a good laugh with the price..how do they come off and more to the point go back on ??

Pull em off, push em on!

Surely an omega cannot have such a simple parts replacement,can it ?perhaps that is why the parts are so expensive as VX know we can replace them ourselves without a full diagnostic read out

Oooh Cynical.

They charge the high price because so many of them are nicked from honest people.

Surely by now one of us should have sourced an alternative to the VX ones, for example BMW / Land Rover etc, I had a pair knicked, managed to get a pair for £20.. Yes! I was very lucky... There must be some vehicle out there that we can adapt a pair from!!!
In the mean time pull the fuse to prevent too much water being used... the fuse is in the big fusebox by the battery...
