Review on AUTOHAUX 8E9955985 Windshield Sprayer Replacement by Matt Hamilton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Try it, save a lot of money.

Purchased for an Audi Q5 which was NOT advertised as the model for which this item is intended. This part is a number and a letter and is different from the OEM replacement, but I decided to give it a try because AUDI only wants $52(!) for one part, which is two for about $6. (The "correct" part is available from various eBay sellers for about $25, and ships in about 3 weeks from China.) This part goes well with the rear window spray bar, but when I turned on the washer, the sprayers missed the window completely. Then luckily I came across a couple of YouTube videos that helped fix the problem and had I not found them I would have thought this item was pure junk that didn't work at all. **The two brass nozzles inside the plastic body are spherical and their direction can be adjusted** by inserting a small pin or sewing needle into each hole and pushing or pulling the hole in each brass ball to aim where you want. go: to the window. A NOTICE. You must also make this adjustment if you have an Audi model specifically mentioned in the ad. The ball nozzles are a little loose so I don't know how long the target will stay where I set it. Also, it's best to use 2 people to make adjustments, one to turn on the washing machine and one to observe where the liquid from each nozzle goes. This way you will save a lot of money if you can hit the target.

Pros
  • Windshield wipers and washers
Cons
  • Vulgarity
