What are hawk washer jets.
I've tried most spray and after 3 sets I gave up as there wasnt enough power to spray the mist everywhere.

i was looking at these but don't know if they will fit

I'm pretty sure the sholder on them is far too wide to fit the hawkeye small hole in the bonnet so they wont sit flush.
Pretty sure I bought these exact ones.

Look up part number 6438V8. They're fitted to Citroen's, Peugeots, Fiats and probably others too. Had some fitted to my Hawk for a few years now and they're so much better than the originals. Not an exact fit in the hole on the bonnet, they're a little loose, but they stay put unless you pull on them.

I did a search on here and bought some citroen ones.
couldn't get them to spray high enough.

RockyRoad

Odd. Possibly the turbos have slightly different positioning or maybe I just got really lucky. Did you fit the rubber spacers/gaskets under the jets?

they didnt come with any but the spray was like a dribble.

don’t know if it helps the fsti and therefore probably any sg forester has the fan spray jets fitted rather than the two lines of water per jet option

RockyRoad

Are you sure they were genuine? I’m lead to believe genuine ones should come with the little rubber gaskets.

I'm struggling to find ones with gaskets.

I've been through this, i even brought a new pump, turns out best thing to do is remove all the 1 way valves in the sprayer pipework, takes a millisecond longer to get the spray but you get a far more powerful flow.

Been there too. The one way valve is just a small ball bearing, I managed to get it out with a pin, I believe it stops water flowing back into the reservoir but I never saw any issues after doing it.

Does this style set up also work well at motorway speeds?

RockyRoad

Works as well as the originals for me.
