New Mk4 owner very soon..but now worried!

Blimey,what a palaver. Thanks for the link. People having to make tools? Give me a break. Surely it can’t be that difficult can it?

He didn't "make" any tools? any suitable flat blade screwdriver will do. I do agree that the universal cheapening of maufacturing parts is making small problems niggling. We used to have a ball joint on the washers which made them very easy to direct exactly where you wanted.

You are right, the chap in the video didn't make any tools, I had read on a forum a chap was finding it difficult to adjust his jets so he made a tool to make things easier, on reflection the Jazz jets are a bit different than the Civic in the video, just been out to mine and tried to raise the height of the passenger side jet but the body of the jet flexes, the jet seems very stiff so I gave up, don't want to break anything, in this picture you can see where the jet adjusts up/down

Great! An early Xmas present! I am sure you will love it. Easy to drive but as I am of a certain age there is a lot to take in regarding all the features and displays. I am just keeping it simple and not activating too many of them. As suggested earlier the ‘brake hold’ seems to be beneficial.

Couldn’t sleep last night so began to read the user manual😊 and I soon drifted off

Just found out I can’t put my own emojis on here from my iPad keyboard? Shows as numbers. Have to use the emojis shown above?
Or am I missing something?

I find things easier to learn and make more sense when physically sitting in the car  able to 'play' with controls. 

The fact you are on here , and even know what an Emoji is,  means you already have an advantage over some older technophobe drivers  confronted with a modern car   

   You quite often see a string of digits in posts suggesting someone tried to use  private or keyboard shortcut emojis

This may be a question for the Site Help and Feedback Forum or maybe Apple?

On second thought: Why don't you PM @Jazzik?  (he seems quite adept at using emojis to me)

[Kremmen]

iPhone emojis come out as hieroglyphics on most forums I visit so not unique to here

Appears like an "Apple vs real world problem" to me

Update: ( for those who are slightly interested  )

Visited Honda ref washer jets and a very kind lady mechanic fixed the angle of the front ones very delicately with some sort of adapted screwdriver and admitted that they are an issue on the Hondas. Success!

Booked in for the blocked rear washer under warranty,however they will charge me if it’s blocked because the screen wash has turned into a gel type mixture (the service reception man says he only uses water due to this potential problem)..

And finally just learnt that service books aren’t issued anymore. (I couldn’t find mine). You get a paper receipt which you use as proof.

I have been searching the web for where I read a tool had been made to adjust the jets, can't for the life of me find it, apparently they can be quite tricky to adjust as they are quite hard to move, it looks like they have a ball joint fitting

You can check your car's service record online under https://www.honda.co.uk/cars/owners/digital-service-record.html

(I'm somewhat surprised that Honda UK seems to insist on a "Honda account" whereas the digital service record in Switzerland requires only a VIN: https://www.de.honda.ch/services/dsr )

[Jazzik]

Honda Poland the same, just VIN: https://www.honda.pl/account/services/dsr/vin-search
