Tech Tip 25 - Windscreen wipers and washers
Twin spring wiper arms were fitted as standard around '94 on. If you aint got them you can get them from any OPC. They come as a complete set incl arms, caps & blades at around £75. Just tell your main dealer you want the "late, '94-on set" Dave B - 27th Nov, 2000
Useful Info - Part nos for twin spring wiper arms: 964.628.028.01 and 964.628.028.03 You will also need new end caps (928.628.623.01), but your existing blades will swap straight across. AFN Reading supplied my new arms and end caps next day by mail order for £39.11 ex VAT. The end result is much improved visibility when it's chucking it down (which it has been recently !!).

Water does not flow (in any great quantity) from the drivers
side jet, it is not blocked. I've checked the pumps and both are operating OK.
Has anyone else had similar experience and if so what was the problem?
Had a similar problem a while ago - Changed the valves
(available as a set I think) on the washer system and it fixed the problem.
