Hi all,

One of my washer jets has popped out of its place.
I've delicately tried reinserting it back into the under bonnet 'hole' however can only manage to get in one of the 2 little clips i.e. get one clip in and then try to get the other one in and the first one pops back out.

Anyone got any tricks to offer?

My apologies if this is covered elsewhere, however I tried searching both this forum and google to no avail.

Figured out after finding sometime that the washer jet is actually broken.
Anyone know where I can get just one washer jet from?

Havent tried trapcing around auckland yet... online is far more efficent for me to buy things.

they look like they're the same as the jets on my '00 Golf http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Windscreen-Washer-Jet-Jets-6E0955985B-Passat-etc-x2-/320714754059, then when they fall out it's because they're stuffed,

they're only about $11 from a dealer but when I replaced mine I also had to replace the hose because it had hardened and broke into pieces, so It's worth doing both together

I got a new one from Giltraps, about $25 if I recall

When you clip it back in, just try and ensure its not catching the bumper on retraction.  That is what damaged my one.
