Default Window washer replacements

As above, I want to swap my window washer nozzles for something a bit better than the standard effort.

Has anyone done this previous? Would a different set of nozzles improve it or would I have to go for a more powerful pump?

I'm thinking of ordering a set from another honda from the dealer and doing a touch up paint and laquer job on them myself.

Any recommendations as to which model washers to use??

Joe.

The spray pattern on the Jazz washer jets is a massive improvement over the rest of the range. A lot of people have retrofitted these to Civics, Integras etc but I don't know if the fit the S2000. It's a wide band of spray rather than a single jet.

Depends if they spray at the right angle too. The 'mist' jets normally can't be adjusted

Had a Jazz (old shape) on loan a while back and I noticed how much nicer the spray pattern was compared to the S. I can't imagine it's that hard a think to change.

yea - my g/f's C2 VTS has these new style jets - they are awesome..
Seems they go on for a set amount of time though - ie, pull the lever and they spray for 3-4 secs then switch off..
But the spray is so much better.. the S ones feel 'weak' in that respect.

I've fitted Jazz jets to my civic and then transferred them to my S2, and yes they are adjustable for spray height. Best from the breakers as honda parts are silly prices.

Disconnecting the rubber hose from inside the bonnet, squeezing the two clips inside and then they push out the bonnet, fit the seal to the new "skooser" and reverse process. 10 minutes tops, including adjusting aim.
