Different Screenwash for fan jets?

[sssstew]

Im sure i read somewhere that you should use special VAG screenwash to stop the fan style jets blocking up.. is this right anyone heard this?

The manual for the car doesnt mention anything so im thinking of getting the normal stuff......

Yep i saw that as well for a polo with the fan jets. but i used Halfrauds screenwash and thats fine and dandy (no blockages in 5 months)

VAG bollox, sorry but i used normal hell frauds on my polo fan jets for 3 years never had a clog ever

You're spot on Stew - you need FanJetWash. It is expensive, but I stock this and can provide a discount ~ only £18 per 250ml bottle.

Just let me know sir.

Real geek here but I would like to change the LCR ones to the fan jets, does anyone know if you can get them to fit the Leon?

Cheers

hmmm now is Mik being sarcastic... how can i tell?

 

[ALEX**]

the problem with doing it to leon si is the positioning of theb jets i brought some and cant fit them or get enough pressure

 

[Si]

Bugger!!!

Do the S3 ones not fit?

DLever was on about it the other day..... im pretty sure it's true.

You are "supposed" to use a special type ... but bollox to that

Not in the slightest.

I'll do you a special deal on a litre for £60. Just send me the cash.

And let me know what font you'd like me to use for the label.

Basically there are two colours of screen wash, blue which freezes at around -8, premium pink with freezes around -12. Saw a note in IMG Warrington giving the reason, can't really remember it, but basically buy pink screen wash and not blue, it's only about £1 more.

That is good to know .... so the other day when my jets were freezing as it was -10.... the pink stuff would have solved the problem ...

Cheers for that

Hmm!

So far I have a chassis number and that's it. However, the ETA to the dealer is supposed to be the 4th Feb, but I'm going to take it on the 1st of March for a 06 plate.

To make things worse, I was considering the V50 T5 until I worked out how much it would cost me. I must be getting old.

I can't see anything better..... a quality Volvo engine, which it IS, in a "cheap" Ford...

My Volvo used to cost SO much in parts ... the Ford will be loads cheaper... relitavley speaking.

P.S was looking on the net to try and find the freezing point of urine
