Does anyone know if the washer jets are easily adjusted? The extreme right hand one on driver's side is just catching the rubber shroud under the the bonnet and this results in some of the water jet scooshing all over the place. It's not really a serious issue and not sure it's worth the trip through to Edinburgh to get it sorted.

On other cars I have adjusted the jet direction using a pin.

Haven't checked if this is possible on the Macan - but worth a try.

Yes, as above, just stick a pin in the one that needs adjusted and move to where you want. I'm sure there are 3 on each side.

Thanks guys, yes there are 3 on each side. I too have used pins in the past on other cars. However, when the Macan bonnet is raised all 6 jets are then in an unhelpful position. I may try with the bonnet down.

Did it work by using a pin to adjust?

The left most outlet on the right directs screenwash over the roof to the rear screen, maybe this is by design?

Also is it supposed to come out as mist / spray?

I realise this is an old post but some may not know if you turn the ignition on then off followed by pushing the wiper stalk down the wipers move up the screen to about a 45 degree angle making it easy to adjust washers and lift wipers away from the screen when washing the car

So can we adjust the washer using a pin?

When screen wash is on, does it spray on windscreen evenly? Mine doesn't really spray over the windscreen evenly but three really strong washer jets.

Thanks,
Ben
