For someone who is driving, a complete view is very important. However, it is difficult to see what is happening on the road if the windshield is dirty. Several systems are used to clean it. Fan nozzles are one of the elements that provide maximum visibility. If they fail, neither the wipers nor the washer fluids will help. Therefore, when choosing parts, pay attention to the type and model.

What species are there?

So, what fan nozzles are there? Are they all similar in design? The range includes such types of jets as:

Inkjet. These washer nozzles are a hollow cylinder. At the very bottom of the product, you can see a fitting that allows you to connect the jet to the hose. A sprayer is provided at the top of the nozzle. If necessary, the car owner can independently adjust the force of the washer fluid supply. This can be done using a special screw

Fan washer nozzles. Products of this design differ from the previous typethe presence of a large number of sprayers. At least 3 of them are installed. In this case, the washer fluid first passes through a small channel, and then it is sprayed only under high pressure

The first type of jets can be found when examining old cars and domestically produced cars. As for foreign cars, all new models are already equipped with fan nozzles. They are developed according to new technologies, which distinguishes them from others by ease of use and ease of installation. But details also have drawbacks.

Fan jet benefits

The design of fan nozzles allows you to wash the windshield not with a jet, as is the case with jet products, but with a finely dispersed wide stream. This allows you to completely cover the surface of the glass and clean it from dirt. Among the advantages of such products, it is also worth highlighting the following:

• Explicit savings. Thanks to spraying, the dirt dissolves much faster. This reduces washer fluid consumption.
• Protecting the surface from scratches. As you know, jet nozzles start working before wipers. Because of this, sand and small particles of dust scratch the windshield. Fan nozzles are launched along with the wipers. This keeps the windshield free of scratches.

Element flaws

Of course, the disadvantages of windshield fan jets are also worth mentioning:

• At low temperatures, such jets are covered with ice very quickly. To prevent this from happening, car ownersinstall additionally heated windshield washer system.
• Such jets, when turned on, completely cover the surface of the glass with washer fluid. Because of this, visibility deteriorates for a few seconds until the wipers start working.

There are only a few drawbacks to fan-shaped windshield washer nozzles. However, they can be eliminated. The most important thing is to choose the right type and model of jets.

How to make the right choice?

Such details should be selected in accordance with the brand of car. For example, fan washer nozzles for a domestic vehicle and for a foreign car have certain differences. Of course, they are not critical. However, assembling the parts can be time consuming as it will be much more difficult.

If necessary, you can purchase universal jets that fit the washer system of almost any vehicle. These parts are the injectors with the numbers 7845009010 and 30655605. They can be found in the Sang Yong or Volvo catalog. The varieties are almost identical, with the exception of one thing - products from Swedish manufacturers are several times more expensive than the Korean counterpart. Otherwise, such elements can be installed on vehicles of any brand.

Also, Toyota can offer an alternative option. The number of jets from this manufacturer is 85381-AA042. When buying these products online, please note that there is only 1 nozzle in the package.

How aboutreplace?

The process for replacing windshield washer fan nozzles is the same for any vehicle. Before carrying out such work, it is worth preparing the hoses through which the washer fluid passes. This can be done with a tube used in aquariums. Then follow the instructions:

1. Remove the upholstery, remove the caps from the plastic.
2. Remove the buffer pads from the foam. As a rule, they are fixed with adhesive tape. Therefore, to re-mount them, prepare the adhesive tape.
3. Remove the covers from the plastic parts, remove the fluid hoses, dismantle the old jets.
4. Connect the nozzle to the fan nozzles.
5. Attach a non-return valve to the pipes and nozzles of the parts.
6. Check the washer system.

When replacing standard elements, you will have to purchase a check valve that prevents the outflow of the washer composition. After all, it is precisely because of this that the wipers begin to work before the liquid is sprayed.

Should it be regulated?

In some cases, fan nozzles do not work as they should after installation. The liquid may be sprayed too low or high, off to one side, etc. In such situations, adjustment of the jets is required. There is no need to purchase special equipment for this. It is enough to find a pin or a needle.

Fan nozzles are spherical and can be rotated. Therefore, insert a needle or pin into the jet and turn it in the desired direction. If washingcomposition hits the glass surface too low, then turn the pin up.

If the streams hit very hard, this is also fixable. Nozzles for foreign cars usually have 3 directions of jets: the extreme ones spray the composition in the lower part of the glass, the middle ones in the central part, and the central ones in the upper part.

After installing the nozzles, try to correctly adjust the flow of the cleaning composition. When turning on the jets, the liquid should not be sprayed outside the glass. In addition, do not forget to periodically clean the nozzles. This will extend their life and improve windshield cleaning. If the jets stop working, then it is worth checking the level of washer fluid in the tank. If it is not enough, then there is nothing to spray the nozzles.
