Kia Sportage 2019 - Washer jets / nozzle replacement

Hi all. Couldn't find a video for the Sportage, so I thought I'd make my own. Hope you find it useful!
These are the nozzle's from Ebay. At the time of recording £4.65 for a set of two.

Changed both of my front nozzles today on my Sportage bought same ones as per your link and followed your instructions both working fine thanks again for your video a great help.

If you look at the replacement jets they clip in place by 2 tags front & back, To replace the jets all you have to do is remove the old ones by inserting a blade at the front of the jet to free the tag lifting the jet up & then the rear tag while keeping the front one up. Pull old jet off & replace , but you will need to test the tube is clear by operating the pump before fitting the new jet.

Would certainly save a fair bit of time. I didn't mind taking it all apart so much though, as I found it useful to check the system wasn't blocked elsewhere.

Thanks for the upload, struggled to find a video for this. Cheers

Hi, you're a star mate, the pipe had popped off my driver's side front jet, I watched your video and with a screwdriver, socket, a few drops of super-glue and double-sided tape it was sorted within an hour following your tips - BTW my car is a Kia Soul - Thank You!!

[@dwinterx]

Glad you found it useful. Sounds like the Soul must be similar in design then.

Great video, thanks very much! Cost me less than a tenner and took under an hour to fix. Kia wanted £145 👍🏻

[@dwinterx]

Glad you found it helpful, I still have the Sportage and the cheapo nozzles I fitted are still working fine! 😀 It would seem you can fit them without taking off a lot of bits I did, but it's not difficult and does allow you to check the lines aren't blocked etc..

Thanks for making this video

[@runtothetrails]

Nice one thanks for sharing 😊

[@keithstorey4183]

Very helpful. Thank you from Canada

My sister lives there, glad you found it useful.

Quicker way. Stanley blade under squirter Cut top off. Two small screw drivers push the plastiic clips in and pops the squirter out. Replace .10mins .max.

[@runtothetrails]

Just chop the tops off?

I just followed this really informative video however my washer jets still didn’t work. The problem turned out to be black bacterial sludge in the reservoir. So a suggestion before taking the whole scuttle out to replace the jets is to disconnect the pipe that feeds into the scuttle to see if fluid is getting that far. I solved the sludge problem by syphoning out the fluid from the reservoir and filling it with water mixed with a cup full of bleach, and running this through the pump and pipe into a jug in the engine bay, and repeating this several times until maximum pressure was achieved, then reconnecting the pipe to the scuttle.

[@dwinterx]

Great tip, thanks for posting it!

Awesome comment, I just followed ur advice and eventually got my issue sorted 👍

[@michaelharvey9555]

Good video one of my jets not working properly (passenger side ) followed your link and they arrived today will follow your instructions my Sportage has only 9655 miles on I had to change the return valve in the rear wash at 2000 miles easy to do but they should be replaced by Kia my last sportage I had problem with the rear one also had four Kia’s now love them but washers not great.

[@dwinterx]

Yeah, I think it should definitely be a warranty fix in the first few years. Apparently some dealers will do this, a bit hit and miss!

[@darrenconlon4538]

Lol they just clip out. 🤣

[@dwinterx]

As someone else has mentioned also, but it's certainly not clear that you won't pull the hose off at the back doing it that way. It's not like it takes long to take it apart, like 5mins, and then you can check for blockages elsewhere. I may well give it a try next time though.

[@seanoconnor8416]

Hi, anyway of getting hose back on that way, hose after blowing off , spraying out through grid near it, could I fish out back out jet hole without taking all apart?

[@seanoconnor8416]

Would be very hard to fish out I'd say through small jet hole, will I have to take a part

[@FitnessPlanB]

You almost created more work for yourself

[@dwinterx]

I think it's possible to do it without taking a lot of that stuff off, but good to check the pipes aren't loose / blocked elsewhere. Not like it's a long or complicated job to do though!
