a98pmalcolm Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hey all.. Ok so a while back now I relocated my washer bottle to my boot. Ever since them I have had the lamest spray. I bought the Lexus IS200 fan pattern jets, used a fresh line through out the car, routed the washer line through the fiberglass bonnet so the line isn't clamping anywhere and still the water drizzles just above were the windscreen wipers sit when they are off. I have tried a few pumps and as there all designed to sit a couple of feet away from the jets they just aren't powerful enough to get a good spray if at all, the best pump was the one that came in the kit I bought. Does anyone that has done this have this issue? Or have an idea were I could get a super strong pump from? This is the kit I used: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160186-NEW-UNIVERSAL-12-VOLT-12V-WINDSCREEN-WASHER-BOTTLE-KIT-PUMP-JETS-SWITCH-/282152585487?hash=item41b19ac90f:g:cisAAOSwLVZVwnn- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Check that you don`t have a leak somewhere, mine was melted in the bonnet and same just trickled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Thanks bignum. Nope all is fine. Do you have it in the boot also? Edited May 1, 2017 by a98pmalcolm (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I bought the same kit as that, the stoc one had to go after my intake manifold and pipework went on, i test fitted in the boot i couldnt even get any spray at all from the jets, it just trickles out lol Glad i never went through the hassle of properly mounting it and running the hose, wires etc I plan to just mount it somewhere at the front of the car now seeing as its small enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks for that berg. Sounds like you got the same problem test fitting it. I wonder where it could go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a98pmalcolm Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Stock pump usually works ok Thanks for the reply Lee I did try that but no luck. It seems worse than the pump thats on there, will retry it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.B Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 What IS200 model year are the jets from? Looking to buy some myself as the original ones suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Thanks for the reply Lee I did try that but no luck. It seems worse than the pump thats on there, will retry it. Can you not replace the feed from the pump to the jets with a smaller gauge to increase pressure that way ? Sure it's not leaking or got a kink in the hose ?
