| you wont need to use a telescopic jet, you could just use a fixed jet, that way you could eliminate the high preasure pump..... |

The pump, grommet, hose & 3 way union are used on a lot of other PSA stuff.
The tank, the bumper caps & jets are 206 specific so its still expensive to do. |

It would work but the bottle is only about 3 litres so could need topping up a lot more often.
The headlamp washers need lots of fluid pressure to lift them up against the spring pressure inside the jet body pulling them back down. |

It cant.
You need to use the correct high capacity pump else the headlamp washers wont have the pressure there to be able to lift & then squirt. |
ahhhh, thats fair enough mate, looks like a costly job then. |

| thats the route i was thinking about going for, cutting the bumper and splicing into the windscreen wash pipework, surely cant be that hard, unless the pump cant handle the extra load. |

| I was wondering if the washer jets off a 307 could be retro fitted, modding the bumper and adding a 'T' connecter and extra pipe work.. |
