Choosing the best fan-shaped windshield washer nozzles for LADA cars » Lada.Online - all the most interesting and useful about LADA cars

Windshield washer nozzles (nozzles) are parts that are found in any car, and even more so in the Lada Vesta. The system is equipped with a motor that supplies fluid through hoses. The nozzle is just an extension of the hose containing washer fluid. It should spray water evenly onto the windshield of the Lada Vesta car. Because the absence of danger on the road due to clean glass, a pleasant ride in negative weather conditions, helps you feel protected. There are 2-flow and 3-flow nozzles. Good visibility of the road helps you avoid unexpected encounters and avoid the next pothole. For this purpose, a special device was installed in the car - a windshield washer along with brushes. The standard washer nozzles of the Lada Vesta car cope with their duties, but they can become clogged, or become confused and water askew - then they will need to be adjusted. Often factory parts are changed to fan parts. You can adjust the feeding direction using a needle.

It is small in size and not a complicated mechanism, but it plays an important role when driving a car. Responsible for ensuring that the front side of the glass can be conveniently cleaned of dirt.

Without a liquid supply, the dirt will simply be smeared onto the glass by the brushes. In the hot summer, the glass becomes covered with dust; without water, the wipers will roll out the dust in small paths, which will impair visibility.

Let's warm up

Fan nozzle models are in many ways superior to their jet counterparts, but still have some disadvantages that appear during long-term operation. The most unpleasant problem for most car enthusiasts is the mechanism’s ability to freeze at low temperatures.

You can avoid unnecessary expenses in another simple way. On the inside of the hood, where the injectors are installed, you need to cut out the insulation - a circle with a diameter of 20 cm. This will help warm the jets with the flow from the running engine. The method showed itself perfectly even in severe frosts. The main advantage of this modification is its simplicity and low cost.

Replacing injectors

How to set up washer nozzles on Vesta:

You need to lift the hood, then remove the insulation (lining on the inside) and the frill. The insulation is attached to special clips, the design of which allows for ease of dismantling and installation.
Under the hood, find rubber tubes connected to the washer reservoir on one side and to the injectors on the other. Remove the old jets and put new ones in their place.

Any car enthusiast can handle replacing washer parts.

Installing fan nozzles will significantly improve the quality of windshield wiper cleaning. In addition, many drivers note that fan jets, in comparison with jet models, consume fluid more economically.

Lada Vesta. FLUID LEVEL IN THE WINDSHIELD AND REAR WINDOW WASH RESERVOIR

Refilling: open the lid (Fig. 7), pour liquid to the visible level and close the lid. This reservoir provides fluid for the windshield and rear window washers.

There must always be windshield washer fluid in the windshield and rear window washer reservoirs; the fluid must be added through a hole covered with a lid.

Liquid to be filled: at ambient temperatures O C and below, use only non-freezing windshield washer fluid.

Use fluids approved by technical services.

Replacing windshield wiper blades

To replace windshield wiper blades, do the following:

— lift lever 1 (fig. windshield wiper from the windshield;

Rice. 8. Wiper blades

— turn brush 2 on the axis of rotation, positioning it approximately perpendicular to the lever, after first removing the fixation of the brush on the lever (by pressing the protrusion of the adapter between the brush and the lever), remove the brush from the lever.

Install the new brush in the reverse order. ATTENTION!

1. To ensure good visibility through the windshield, it is necessary to keep the wiper blades in perfect condition.

2. To avoid deformation of the brushes, it is necessary to regularly clean the windshield wiper blades with liquid from the washer fluid reservoir. If the glass and blades are heavily soiled, for example, with insect remains (adhered to the glass), road salt, or road surface elements, the outside of the glass and blades should be cleaned with a soft cloth and special detergents. After cleaning, rinse the glass and brushes with clean water.

Which injectors are best installed on the Vesta?

If you are not satisfied with the performance of standard spare parts, they can be replaced with analogues from other manufacturers. Instead of standard jet injectors, fan-type injectors (1.6 2022 and other models) or equipment for other cars are often installed on Vesta.

Most owners of Lada Vesta, Lada Cross and Grant prefer to install jets from Volvo (cost about 250 rubles), from the Korean manufacturer Sang Yong (number 7845009010 at a price of 120 rubles) or Toyota (catalog number 85381-AA042b).

Conclusion

Replacing the washer reservoir or installing new nozzles is quite simple even for an inexperienced driver.

When purchasing, check the catalog numbers of spare parts with the data specified in the article above. If a non-original accessory is installed, the functionality of the equipment is not guaranteed. As for the manufacturer, there is no particular difference in quality between imported and Russian analogues. The cost of domestic spare parts is 20 - 25% cheaper.

Which washer nozzles are best to choose?

Instead of standard jets, a large number of fan injectors can be installed on Lada cars, here are some of them (the table is in the process of being filled out, leave feedback in the comments):

In addition to new injectors, it is recommended to perform one more modification - install a check valve.

It is worth noting that not only the quality of windshield washing, but also fluid consumption depends on the type of jets. Spraying too much will not allow you to spray the entire area of the glass at high speed (small splashes from the wind will only fall on the lower part of the windshield), and too much spray will quickly empty the washer reservoir.

Principle of operation

The windshield wipers clean the windshield from raindrops, dust, midges, and other contaminants using the washer. The efficiency of the device depends on the serviceability and correct adjustment of the jets. For high-quality cleaning, the direction and intensity of spraying are important.

To choose the right washer nozzles for a Vesta or other car, you need to know the type of device:

The simplest jet mechanism provides liquid supply to the surface to be washed through several channels. If the nozzle becomes clogged or the channel is contaminated, the quality of liquid atomization will be significantly reduced. Certain areas will not be washed, which will worsen the result and negatively affect the comfort and safety of movement.
The fan model creates a wide front of water spray. This ensures that the glass is quickly coated with small droplets.

The second method is more effective.

Cleaning

If the quality of liquid atomization has deteriorated significantly, and the adjustment does not help correct the situation, most likely the jets need to be cleaned of dirt. You can do this yourself.

There are several ways to clean dirt from sprayers:

Using a compressor. After removing the jet and washing it in soapy water, connect the nozzles to the compressor. Under strong air pressure, dirt will come out of the mechanism.
Using a syringe. A less effective, but more affordable method, which also allows you to thoroughly clean the mechanism. Instead of a compressor, use a large-volume syringe filled with clean water. The dirt should come out of the jet along with the water.
Mechanical method. You can clean the spray nozzles using a needle, pin or thin wire. The effectiveness of the method is low: it is used for significant contamination.

If such methods do not bring the expected result, and the injectors still do not provide the required pressure, it is better to remove the jets and buy new ones.

Common faults

Washer problems can be divided into two types: mechanical and electrical in origin. Among the first type of problems, the most common problems are:

There is no pressure (the channels are clogged or the liquid level is insufficient).
When using ordinary water in winter, crystallization and ice formation are possible. You need to start the car and let the engine compartment warm up. It is also advisable to replace the water with antifreeze windshield washer.
Liquid does not flow to the nozzle. A mechanical break or disconnection of the hose has occurred.
Poor fluid pressure can also be a result of blockage. The reason is most likely due to the use of unfiltered tap water.

Electrical faults:

The fuse has failed.
An open circuit between the washer control lever and the device itself.
Pump fault.

Adjustment

To understand how the nozzles on the Vesta are adjusted, you need to understand the design of the device. The mechanism is housed in a plastic case. The basis is made up of nozzles through which liquid is supplied and sprayed onto the glass under pressure. The desired direction is given using a regular needle.

The process of setting up the Vesta washer nozzles comes down to the following: carefully place the needle inside the hole, adjust the angle of inclination, changing the direction of the jet. At the same time, it is important not to overdo it, without underestimating or significantly increasing the indicator.
