W212 E Class Windscreen Washer Nozzle Adjustment

[kjl]

I was wondering whether it was possible to redirect the water jets as mine are too low. I have looked in the paper handbook and the electronic version and can find no reference to it. In the old days you just stuck a pin into the nozzle and redirected it, but this doesn't look possible on the E.

I have done a search on the site but cannot find any information, but my searching technique may be at fault as I have never manged to find anything I wanted to know on the site by using the search. But that may need another thread to tell me where I am going wrong.

I have contacted the main dealer and the price for the correct tool is £22.13 + vat and it has to be ordered from Mercedes in Germany. I think i will try to make one up as this price is well over the top just to adjust washer jets.

I found out there was a special tool to adjust the nozzles but like you thought it was too expensive for what it was and the amount of use it would get. I made up my own tool from two pieces of metal flat bar bent into a L shape but I haven't got around to joining them together. However, by just holding them together I managed to get the nozzles to move. But as the car was going into the dealer for some work under guarantee I got them to fine tune the adjustment with the right equipment.
