C8 Washer Jets

Unread post by Rp0thejester »

Oh okay, my car doesn't have washer jets. If I can't get the same colour will Citroen stealers supply me a spray can for £1000 or can I get it else where? Thx for the speedy reply.

If by chance your car is Wicked Red or Silver I have half a spray can left of each from my C5s. You are welcome to either if any use!! :-D
I just woke up and saw your pictures so I guess red or silver are not much use :-D

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Your car does have headlamp washers (factory fitted). If they are not working it is because of another reason most likely,, but you have the part numbers now and as said, they will be supplied unpainted.

Your paint code is EYJ, Gunmetal Metallic.

Oh I never knew that!! I thought it was strange my alloys had pressure sensors in them but no indication of pressure sensor in the vehicle comp screen.... Let's face it my car is just weird.

Is there a Paint Code section in this forum/forums? Mine is EYJC.

You can actually see them so you definitely have them :-D
Try switching you headlamps on then operating the windscreen washers, they should both pop out & spray the lamps, there is no separate button for them. You may just never have noticed them operating.

Lol, well the parts are glued to the bumper and never seen them work. Is it a faulty solenoid/fuse etc, if related to rear washer system I'm screwed.
