Hyundai Coupe - Hyundai Coupe screen wash jet too strong - abcxyz

Hi, I know most of the problems with these are when the pressure is too low due to blocked pipes etc, but does anyone know how I can reduce the force of the screen wash jet on one side of my windscreen?

It used to be ok but has actually got too strong and so most of the water goes over the top of the screen! In the past my garage has been able to adjust it but they have now closed so am not sure how it is done. Does anyone know?

Thanks folks!

Use a dress-making pin - stick it carefully into the nozzle and adjust - a little at a time and retest.

I owned a coupe SIII and the jets were easily adjusted using a suitable pin/needle.

I use a small safety pin (free with your dry cleaning!). More pin left outside the nozzle to hold onto- greater control/ accuracy.

My new Note has a 'mist spray nozzle'not a jet. Goodness knows how you would adjust that if it ever needed it.

The OP says that one side is stronger than the other, this suggests that one side is blocked passing all the pressure through to the other jet, it requires unblocking not adjustment.

Same procedure tho', use a pin to unblock the low pressure jet and the high pressure one should not go over the roof when both sides are equal.

HTH
