ive had my bravo 1.8 a while now it only occured to me this morning that is it normal on all bravos that when u spray the front jets the wipers dont wipe automatically? i`ve had a few cars and all of them did in some manner but this doesnt! is it me being about as sharp as jade goody or hav i got a "technical fault"

sorry if u read this and fink wot a waste of 3 minutes of my life?

mine are the same as yours, so it must be the usual.

although pushing the wiper stick up (towards the windscreen) does give you a quick wipe

yep its not supposed to wipe automatically when you spray, which is a much better way to work in my opinion. i like to rinse before i wipe. on other cars you wipe all the dirt before you get enough fluid on the glass, which causes far more scratching on the glass.

Yup agree only ones i've had that work well are the Volvo's as they seem to give enought time before the wipe and spray a fine mist all over the window.

il be able 2 sleep tonite now! the best i`ve had was on my clio 172 it wud spray then give about a 3sec delay before wipin! wiv out soundin like a geek the 4 jet system is one of the best tho, the general spray misses ur window over 60 and the double jet just about reaches the bottom of the windscreen!

both my jets hit the spoilers on the wipers at high speeds, meaning it doesnt even touch the glass . if i angle the jets up any higher it goes on the roof when stationary. but apart from that, i do like having so many jets of water. plus the water storage tank is so big that you dont need to fill it up very often at all. most fiats have a tiny storage tank.

The Marea gives a good squirt before wiping. Four jets per nossle. A passenger even commented on the 8 jets being impressive

Coupe is good, the jets are actually on the wiper.

dont you dare beat me to it!! :nono:

lol hehe.. i will have a"gander" and see how logistically posible it is haha... (frioday when i visit the scrappy again lol.)

i got some 405 wiper blades to put on mine and if the blades dont fit then im having to bars off the wipers fitted, they gonna have to go on somehow cause i aint got no washers on the bonnet no more lol

if they dont fit try some coupe ones. i'd expect they will fit but you'll need slightly shorter blades. i'd be interested to know how you get on

Yea someone did the single blade with jets on blade conversion off a coupe onto a Bravo on Boo.. dunnno who.. a search would find out.

dont 4get if u do, do it, its a new polly filler job on ur bonnet! wud be interstin 2 c if it works tho! i`ve neva noticed the coupe jets im intrigued now il hav 2 subtly stare at coupes while walkin bak 2 my car in the car park

which i do every time i see one, although i'm hardly subtle about it. i tend to peer through the window and make revving noises while thrusting my hips towards it. then i call it a sexy italian slut and threaten to abuse its ass. i cant help it

there r special places u can go 2 sort that jug, perhaps the same place that britney spears has gone!
