The 2004 XJ8 I purchased is missing the washer nozzles that squirt water on the windshield. I'm assuming that the blades were replaced with aftermarket wipers.

Anyone have An idea what the part is that's missing. Is it built into the metal wiper arm or the blade itself?

Thanks

 

the blades should have a nozzle on them and then there should be a short length of black plastic/rubber tube connected to the outlets just under the lip of the bonnet/hood, if they fitted after market blades then they may not have the nozzles !

 

Any idea what the dealer cost is for the OEM blades?

 

My invoice from Royles of Wilmslow, a Jaguar main agent dated 3rd Feb 2011 shows the blades costing £13.12 each. I paid £11.81 as I get the Allegiance Club discount. These have the washer jets on them. To me that is not expensive, and they're still on the car working well.

However, I don't know what the arms cost.

 

The washer nozzle is part of the receiver for the 'j' hook on the arm, it snaps onto the pivot of the blade. Don't know if its available as a separate part or not. The hose for the washer nozzle runs from there, under the arm to near the wiper shaft where the arm attaches.

Thanks for the info guys. I have the original arms and hoses intact, so maybe I can just get the nozzles separate. Guess ill try the dealer and see what they cost.
