On my c class 2015 the washer jets don’t squirt even half way up the screen. Is this normal? The wipers catch the water and wipe it across ok but as the jets are not mounted on the bonnet they are hard to get to. Any thoughts?

If the spray is set to be too high on the screen to it just goes over the roof at speed.I’m asking if the spray should be much higher, like a normal car would be. Covering the windscreen, not just above the blades
On the arm assembly or on the panel at the base of the wipers??Near the base of the wipers
I have not seen jets placed there.On the panel.
A massive bug bear of mine as well . I have had much lesser cars than my current AMG that start the pump a second before the wipers start to move. Far more sensible, I am sure MB have a perfectly reasonable explanation for this design fail.I just wish the water hit the screen before the wipers move, the first drag is on a dry screen
Not sure about your car, but according to the parts listing, the W204 has a heater element in the washer bottle.Whilst on the subject. My car has a heated wash wipe system, does anyone know how it works
Approx £110 if you fit them yourself......MB's already addressed the problem Petrol Pete. The water jets are incorporated within the wiper blades. God knows how much the blades will cost when they wear out.
Whilst on the subject. My car has a heated wash wipe system, does anyone know how it works. There is a auxiliary pump in the engine compartment that apparently has something to do with it, but looking at a diagram, that's connected to the cooling system.
I believe so, you can find them on eBay buy only on the dealer ebay shops. I'm led to believe that some after market places offer them for sale but don't fit or give the wash function.I think mine may have that Spiky Mikey. Grockel would they be dealer parts only.
