Maypack two things to point out (and i am sure you know this already).

Firstly the BAU (Control Unit 09) no longer has long coding in the facelift cars.
Secondly be aware if the coding you are looking at is for facelift or pre facelift cars as the coding has changed on some things.

Cheers for the heads up. I might be in touch about a few things if that’s ok?

Bit of a maintenance wash this afternoon. Too hot to spend any more time outside and given how the water beaded off during pre wash and rinse, there’s still plenty of protection on there.

Yeah takes 30 seconds a side. Pop the current ones out, I just used my hands, pulled down from the front, very easy.

Some more images found in another thread below

Time 5 mins install (1 hour photos :) )
Level: Easy
Fan Jet Part No 5MO 955 985 C 9B9 non heated about £10 (See here eBay item number:221246183308 for an example of heated fans) or eBay item number:321197661391 for the ones I bought. You can pay more for SEAT branded ones from the same dealer but as you won't see the logo only you will know ;)
Pistol Spray No 5FO 955 986

Pic 1 Comparison of pistol and fan . The fan is slightly deeper than the pistol but this did not matter to the install or effectiveness

Pic 2 Fan from top

Pic 3 Underside of fan. All clips are identical. It is a direct replacement by pulling towards the engine from the screen side and then in a downward motion.

Pic 4 A 2mm Allen Key is used to adjust the position of the jets on the screen in a vertical direction only. There is no horizontal adjustment as that is determined by the spray slot.

Pic 5 Underside of the original. Note the 3 jets. Here the black clip which retains the washer fluid tube securely has been slid to the right. Do not attempt to remove it. The pipe then easily pulls off. Fitting is a reverse.

Pic 6 The results from various angles

Comparison of jet of fine droplets covering the screen so well they are almost invisible in this shot. The 3 jets are well defined

So there you all are. I'll report back after a weeks trial. First impressions are that less fluid is used but that it is better distributed and will reduce wiper/ screen wear.

Not quite today but the last 2 days drove nearly 800 miles to my folks house in France. The not so old girl didn’t miss a beat :)

The wife went out in London last night for a work thing... being a good husband I took her back to her work earlier to collect her car rather than letting her get the train.

Don’t trust dashcam gps speed stamps so I’ve probably got a speed awareness course and a £92 bill coming my way

All the stupid s#%t I’ve done in that car I’m going to get a done for 36/37mph ‍♂️... the irony is killing me!

I was wondering if that was an ANPR van so checked the examples here:

However, looks ominous although I'm not 100%. Hope you don't mind if I submit the location.

Submit away.

As I previously said I have issues with the legislation of them being allowed anywhere within 5k of a serious accident site, it should be positioned further down the road where the bad accidents are so if by submitting it helps other avoid it then I'm all for it.

Still waiting for Royal Mail to deliver my present from Kent Police :cop:

Traded places a few times with a Golf R on the way home from work.

Not sure I like the look of the Golf R, exhausts not half as sexy as the Cupra twins, standard red colour not as nice as Seat Desire Red, Body shape not to my liking either...only thing that I liked was the way the indicators worked in the style of Kitt (Knight rider for anyone under 30 lol).

Give me a Cupra any day..
