Got & Fitted Some Citroen Windscreen Washer Jets Today!
Another member of this site mentioned it so i thought i would give it a go. They are much better. Rather than 2 jets of water they spread it around more like a spray. Reccommended to anyone.
Part number is 6438v8 & are 5.98 for the pair from a main citroen dealer..

just the way they spray, gives a mist over the windscreen which gives a better cleaning result as apposed to the jets on the oe ones:)

Great stuff.. Have you fitted them yet?

Only got it this morning. Luckily the dealer only restocked yesterday.

I have just done the fitting. One of the elbow was abit tight to pull out and refit but all sorted. Can I presume the the plastic clips remains on the car to hold the new washers in place as they lifts the washers off the bonnet by a mm or two?

Done mine today too - we should form a "Citroen washers owners club"!

Got mine from a Citroen garage miles away (was in the area anyway), was wondering since packaging is Citroen/Peugeot if a Pug garage would have them and if so if its the same number?

Not taken them out on actual road test but seems a great little mod :thumbsup:

Had mine for about a week now, but not fitted them as I want to colour code them, Been to every motor factors in the area but no-one stocks Trophy Blue anymore, have to go to the local specialists who were not open today, Will have to wait until next week now. If and when they get done, will post potos.

Mine will turn a little by hand but wouldn't describe them as loose.
