Title: Head light washer jet - STOLEN?
Post by: Boothy on August 30, 2012, 12:19:58 pm

I have just discovered that one of my headlight washer jets/cover seems to have been removed by some tea leef.

The questions I have though are:

- have they just taken the cover or the whole unit and can I buy a replacement?
- will they have damaged the unit by forcing it out?
- would the replacement come colour coded or could I just buy the cover on its own if need be. I'm not bothered about them working as I'd removed the fuse anyway.

Cheers for the help guys.

Tell me about it  :confused:. They'll be stealing my washer fluid next!


If I buy the cover and jets then do they just slot in or will the remain part be foobared?

For **** sake man !

Nothing is safe, some one nicked my rear wiper a few months back, if it ain't screwed, glued, cemented they will have it off !

Has it really been stolen? I know people have had problems with the covers popping off.

It was there when I parked up at 3am and gone by 11am.

I had one pop off as I was driving down the road, I did not see it go and it cost me $$$ to get it replaced at VW

I think it happens when the jets on one side get blocked !
