Choosing fan-shaped universal windshield washer nozzles. Serrated windshield washer nozzles: advantages and disadvantages Serrated windshield washer nozzles VAZ 2114

How often a car enthusiast cannot even go on a trip in his car, if suddenly the washing of the driver's view stops working. And it would be okay to run out of liquid, or the channels are simply clogged. Worse, when the "sprinklers" themselves are out of order.

Here we need to replace the washer nozzles windshield... Fortunately, these sprinklers can be purchased very inexpensively. But why do they become unusable? There are several reasons for this, we list them below:

constant blockages lead to irreparable adhesion of dirt in the holes;
temperature changes and constant humidity, due to which the holes are filled with rust;
freezing of water can lead to cracking.

Of course, if there is any suspicion of a malfunction of these units, it is imperative to try to clean them first. Why you can take a needle from a syringe and carefully stick it into the hole of the part, where the liquid is sprayed from.

However, when cleaning does not help, and checking the electric motor of the system shows its malfunction, that is, the absence of noise from its side, it is necessary to replace the windshield washer motor.

In the case when the engine pumps washer fluid to the spray nozzles, and it splashes somewhere under the hood, that is, there is a hose rupture - in this case, the leaky washer hose must be replaced.

How to fix watering on a VAZ

Suppose a breakdown occurred on a VAZ car. Let's talk first about the "tenth" family. To replace the washer nozzles at the VAZ 2110, the following tools will come in handy:

wrenches;
screwdrivers.

Begin.

First of all, we dismantle the air intake grill.
Further, by unscrewing the fasteners, remove the decorative overlay.
Having unscrewed the screws securing the defective elements, we dismantle the latter.
We take out the ends of the tubes from the dismantled elements.
We install new parts and assemble them in reverse order.

If the sprayers broke down on the "twelfth" model, then we replace the defective windshield washers at the VAZ 2112 using exactly the same technology.

However, it happens that the pump of the washer fluid spray system has broken down (due to the fact that, say, a system filled with water was turned on in sub-zero weather). Then, to replace the "dead" windshield washer motor, you will have to remove the battery, remove the system reservoir, disconnect the wires and reinstall the unit.

Now let's talk about the Samara family. To replace the nozzles from the VAZ 2114, we will take some tool, namely pliers.

Everything is much simpler here. Let's get started.

Opening the hood, we find our broken parts.
We pull out hoses from them.
Gently squeezing the clamps from below with pliers, we pull out the defective nodes.
Install the new ones in the reverse order.

And here is how Kalina's replacement goes. Only a screwdriver is taken from the tool. Start by opening the hood.

Pull out the bonnet trim clips using the tool.
Remove the trim.
Remove the tubes from the broken jets.
Take out the faulty elements and install new ones. Then everything is going on the way back.

Now for the Priora. To replace the washer nozzles from Priora, we take the following accessories:

flat screwdriver;
a piece of cloth.

Here's what we do.

Having placed a quadruple piece of fabric, we pry the defective element with the tool and pull it out of the hood hole.
We remove the branch pipe from it.
Install the new part in reverse order.

However, the picture will be more detailed if we turn to popular foreign cars.

What to do with foreign cars

To replace the windshield nozzles at Renault Logan, we need pliers.

We act like this.

Opening the hood, we find the defective element.
We remove the flexible tube from it.
Gently squeeze the clamps with pliers and pull the spray arm out.
The installation of a new spare part is done in the reverse order.

As you can see, for this car it is very easy to carry out the whole process with your own hands.

The situation is somewhat different with the Korean foreign car. To replace the glass washer nozzle at the Kia Sid, you must use - a flat screwdriver. What are we doing.

Gently insert the tip of the tool from the side of the front seats of the car under the jet. Then we press the latch.
We take out the broken part to ourselves.
Disconnect the flexible tube from the dismantled element.
We install the new sprayer, moving backwards point by point.

Here we will mention that the replacement at Solaris is carried out in almost the same way. Only with a screwdriver you need to act a little differently. More precisely, you need to take two screwdrivers. Pry one of the nozzles from the side of the window, and the second from the side of the inside of the hood.

But when changing the windshield washer nozzles for the Chevrolet Trailblazer, we act one to one as in the instructions just given.

It is much more difficult to replace the glass washer nozzles with the Opel Astra. In this car, in order to get to the broken spray nozzles, you must first unfasten the wiper leashes by removing the caps and unscrewing the nuts. And then you still need to dismantle the plastic panel on which the replaceable fittings are fixed. Pulling them out of the panel is no longer difficult.

The cost of such a simple operation is not high

It is easy to assume that the cost of performing such a simple operation in a car service is just as low. And if someone is afraid of breaking something, he can safely go to a service station.

Approximate prices for Russia are shown in this table.

Here are the average data for the reinstallation of the jets of the foreign car system. And if you need to replace the windshield washer pump, the cost of such an operation will be twice as expensive.

Maximum visibility is essential for any driver, which is why car manufacturers place great emphasis on the windshield cleaning process, which involves multiple systems. Thanks to the wipers, the correct flow of oncoming air flows and nozzles, car owners always clearly and clearly see what is happening on the roadway. However, if one of these systems fails, the work of the other will not be able to be performed at the required level, which is why it is necessary to correctly select such important elements, as nozzles or as they are also called jets.

To purchase the right devices first of all, you need to understand the existing types of these parts.

Types of nozzles

There are the following types of jets:

Jet - washer nozzles in the form of a hollow cylinder. At the bottom of the structure there is a fitting, thanks to which the nozzle itself is connected to the hose. At the top there is a spray bottle. In this case, the force of the fluid supply can be adjusted using a special screw.
Serrated nozzles. A feature of this design is the presence of many nozzles (at least 3). It is also worth noting that the liquid in this case passes through a narrower channel, due to which the liquid is atomized with greater pressure.

The first type is more often found on "middle-aged" cars, as well as on cars domestic production, for example, the windshield washer nozzles of the VAZ 2110 have a jet configuration. Fan nozzles are already being installed on foreign cars and cars produced in recent years.

Washer nozzles developed according to modern technologies, differ not only in ease of use, but also in ease of installation. However, these elements also have their drawbacks.

Advantages and disadvantages of fan washer nozzles

Thanks to the successful design of fan nozzles, not a narrow stream, as in the case of jet models, falls on the glass, but a wide, finely dispersed stream that covers almost the entire "windshield". Other advantages include the following:

Thanks to good atomization, dirt dissolves more efficiently, resulting in fluid savings.
If, in the case of jet nozzles, the wipers start working a little earlier than the liquid hits the glass, then the fan models are connected simultaneously with the wiper. This protects the glass from scratches.

If we talk about the shortcomings, then motorists highlighted the following nuances:

Fan-type jets quickly become covered with ice at subzero temperatures. To avoid such troubles you have to buy additional system heating for washers.
Since a large amount of liquid enters the glass at once, visibility is reduced for a few seconds until the wipers start working.

As you can see, such a system also has drawbacks, but all of them can be solved. The main thing is to choose the right jets for your car.

How to choose washer nozzles

It is best to choose jets specifically for your vehicle. If you compare fan nozzles windshield washer VAZ 2114 and similar parts for a foreign car, they will be different. Of course, these differences are not critical and you can always adjust the part for your car brand, but in this case the installation will be much more difficult.

Alternatively, you can purchase universal products that are suitable for different cars... Injectors with numbers 30655605 and 7845009010 are considered such elements. They are presented in the catalogs of Volvo and Sang Yong. Both jets are absolutely identical with one difference - the Korean part will cost almost half as much as the Swedish counterpart. Otherwise, both products can be used as windshield washer nozzles for Ford, Mazda, Subaru, Daewoo and other models.

One more Alternative option is offered by the Toyota concern, but when buying jets under catalog number 85381-AA042 from this manufacturer, it should be borne in mind that they are sold in 1 piece. Therefore, when placing an order via the Internet, you must add two items to the basket. After purchasing the products, you can install them yourself.

How to replace the washer nozzles

The process for replacing injectors is the same for all vehicles. Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare new hoses through which the "wash" will pass. For these purposes, a tube that is used for aquariums works well.

After that, you need to follow these steps:

Remove the upholstery and carefully pull out the plastic caps.
Remove the buffer foam pads. They usually stick to tape, so you need to prepare some fresh duct tape to reinstall them.
Detach the pads on plastic parts.
Remove hoses through which fluid is supplied.
Remove the old injectors.
Connect the pipe to the new jets.
Connect the non-return valve to the nozzles and pipes.
Check system operation.

When replacing standard injectors, you also need to purchase a check valve that will not allow the liquid to "roll back", due to which the wipers often start working long before the cleaning compound appears on the glass.

Sometimes the new washer nozzles do not work as expected (the liquid is pouring too high or vice versa low, offset to the side, and so on), in which case additional adjustment of parts may be required.

How to adjust the washer jets

No specialized equipment or special skills are required to adjust the injectors. All you need is a regular needle or safety pin. In order to figure out how to adjust the windshield washer nozzles, it is enough to understand that they have a spherical shape and rotate freely inside the plastic case. Therefore, simply:

Feel free to insert the pin into the nozzle and start turning it in the direction you need.
If the liquid hits the glass too low, then twist the pin up.
If the jet hits very hard, this can also be corrected with a needle.
On foreign cars, the nozzles have 3 jets, which are better to be adjusted differently. The extreme ones should be at the lowest points, as they hit the sides of the car. It is better to direct the middle ones to the central part of the windshield, and it is better to direct the remaining central jets to the upper part of the glass.

You can also independently clean the washer jets with your own hands.

How to clean the washer nozzles

If the jets began to work incorrectly, then most often the problem can be solved by cleaning these elements from contamination. Before cleaning the windshield washer nozzles, prepare:

pin or sewing needle;
compressor;
high volume syringe;
soap and water.

Before starting work, it is recommended to check the level of the cleaning liquid in the tank, as the jets may not work due to the missing "washer". After that, you need to disconnect the washer nozzles from the hoses and slightly press on them until they rise.

Wash each nozzle in a soapy solution.
Connect the compressor, turn on the blowdown and apply high pressure to the jet.
If you don't have a compressor at hand, you can use a syringe into which you need to draw water.
Clean the holes with a regular needle or safety pin.
Insert the syringe into the nozzle and start flushing.

Of course, the compressor will be much more effective, but if the nozzles are heavily clogged and do not allow liquid to enter, then with the help of improvised means you can at least temporarily solve the problem.

Another way is to leave the jets in soapy water overnight and try reusing the syringe or compressor in the morning. This will be useful in the case of particularly stubborn old dirt.

In custody

When installing universal headlight washer nozzles or windshield nozzles, try to adjust them so that they spray liquid onto the glass surface without going beyond its limits. When choosing fan jets, try to give preference to those models that were designed specifically for your car, this will save yourself time on assembling the elements.

To get the right devices, you first need to understand the types of these parts that exist.

Today we'll talk about fan washer nozzles for VAZ cars.

For cars VAZ different washer nozzles:

single-jet

two-jet

fan-shaped

Most often, from the factory, our cars are equipped with the simplest single-jet nozzles.

Their pressure and radius of action are often not enough for high-quality cleaning of the entire windshield, so many put two-jet nozzles (for example, these are on Chevrolet Niva cars).

However, the most effective solution is fan washer nozzles... They differ from the usual ones in that they do not spray water with a jet, but with a wide fan, which wets the entire windshield of the car.

The problem is that it is difficult to find full-time fan washer nozzles VAZ... To get out of the situation, there are several options.

Purchase of cooperative injectors in the car market. On the car markets, there are often a large number of different options for fan injectors, however, the quality of their work is often far from ideal and the defect rate is too high. But the price for such nozzles starts from 10-20 rubles.

Installation fan washer nozzles from Volvo. This is the most expensive option; a pair of such nozzles costs about 500-600 rubles. You can order them in various online stores, part code: Volvo 30655605 Washer nozzle 2 pcs. But even here, not everything is so simple, the landing diameter of these nozzles is slightly larger than the standard ones, so they will have to be adjusted on site during installation.

Purchase fan washer nozzles VAZ through online stores. For example, 2 nozzles for a VAZ in the Alamar online store cost 150 rubles. However, they are quite good quality and fit into the place of the regular ones without modifications.

The video below shows the operation of the fan washer nozzles on a Lada Kalina car.

Two years of operation have revealed their pros and cons.

Pros:

wet the entire windshield at once

allow you to clean all the glass in a couple of strokes of the wipers

do not require adjustment during operation

Minuses:

in winter, when using an anti-freeze liquid that thickens in the cold, the pressure through the nozzles weakens, in frosts below 30 degrees they begin to work as jet

the water consumption increases, but not much, since the glass is cleaned in less time than with standard nozzles.

In general, we can say that fan washer nozzles on VAZ cars have more pros than cons.
