The washer nozzle has undergone significant changes since the end of the last century. Up to that time the nozzles position could not be regulated. And it's a pretty convenient addition, as adjustable nozzles allow the washer to regulate the height of the sprayed liquid jet. Therefore, many car owners, who drove a rather old car because the jet of sprayed liquid was located at different heights, replaced fixed nozzles with adjustable ones. In the base of the adjustable nozzles has been added a special cam, which allowed the liquid jet sprayed by the nozzle to climb up, when turned counter-clockwise.

However, nozzles are necessary not only on the windshield. For example, by a car with a wagon body type, the washer nozzle of the rear window should spray a jet of fluid into the center of the rear window. The position of the jet can be adjusted. If the direction of the jet coming from the nozzle is not possible to adjust or the liquid is sprayed unevenly, you need to replace the item with a new one. Sometimes the washer nozzles are blown with compressed air. In order to do this, remove the nozzle and blow it out from the connecting hose`s side. Do not blow out the nozzle in the opposite direction of the liquid flow. As for the headlights, if necessary, adjust the headlight washer nozzle so that the liquid was sprayed onto the glass in the points.

Despite the fact that the nozzle gets damaged very seldom and is a fairly simple element, drivers must remember that without special tools and experience it will be very difficult to change these items in case of breakage. Apart from that, experts will perform the replacement a lot faster than if you would do it yourself. The best way to save money would be to order in our online store the necessary spare parts, such as brake master cylinders, wheel hub bearings and wheel niches.
