Is the car new/old?
I had to have one replaced under warrenty for that reason, but I've heard that they can become clogged up and restrict water flow. What do you fill your washer bottle with?

Hi Cars is a '57 plate washers work fine its just that they seem to fire too low. As the wipers come down first it wipes most of the water off rather than spreading it round the window. Washer liqud is whatever Seat use as they just serviced it and filled the bottle.
Every other ar I've had you could stick a pin in the jet and raise or lower it - are the leon ones fixed in position then?

I'll just say that I couldn't adjust mine, there may well be a way to adjust them - i just don't know what it is...
I've noticed that the washer they replaced on mine fires about 1-2 inches higher up the screen than the original one... I'm gonna see if there's any way of unblocking/cleaning them....

i had a look at mine today and it looks like there is two pin holes either side to "stick" a pin in to adjust them up and down!!
I know the mk4 has the "fan" type - they have a special tool (lol) to adjust them! but you can just do it with your fingernails, pin.

Found the pin holes either side but they dont appear to move he jet? will try a "bit more" force
Tried to take the jet out but it wont come loose (slightly damaged plastic![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
)
Since trying to get drivers side out it now sprays about 1/3 of the way up the screen much better - only trouble is cant seem to make the pasenger side do same thing.
