It may be the way they're seated as I had the same even after adjusting them fully and they still didn'tspray up far enough so I removed them and refitted and all was fine.
Also make sure you've fitted the shim at the back of the fans not the front (the front being nearest the windscreen)

I'll take a look again at weekend. For its worth I wouldn't recommend buying the heated ones they're like three times the price of non heated and I regret it now.
I'll update you as to how I get on. Thanks

Does anyone know where you can get the washer jet shims from? They are now obsolete and audi can't get hold of them. No replacement part number either. Only place I've found is from Germany who want €20 for postage for £2 of shims.

Get them there mate. Non heated ones at £11. Shins are available to for £2 I think

Cheers for the link. Now ordered. Postage is a little more palatable from there.

don't need mine now then, I was going say have them free , i'll stick them back in my desk then.
I spoke too soon. Just had an email back from the company, they've cancelled the order as they can't get hold of them anymore. I can't believe something so simple is that hard to obtain. I'd gladly pay the postage if that offer still stands?

I bought the heated fan/mist sprayers (5M0955986C9B9), and I bought the shims too. But when fitting them I discovered that they fit nice and snug, without any gaps, even without the shims fitted. In fact, when I tried to fit the shims the jets wouldn't clip on. I've got a 2011 Audi A4 avant (B8 I believe), s-line special edition. Am I doing something wrong, or is it possible that the car I have doesn't need the shims? The only thing I've noticed is that even with the spray angle set to the max it still sprays slightly low.... but not enough to bother me. If it helps, the jets I removed are 8t0955988b (right) and 8t0955987b (left)

I think the price bounces around a bit. I paid £56.75 (inc shipping) for 2 heated jets, plus £3.07 for 2 shims.
I realise I'm bumping a thread from 5 years ago, and I do apologize, but I'm having trouble with this mod on my B7 Avant.
For whatever reason, I cannot get the jets to sit properly even with the shims? From my reading of the thread, the shims should be on the engine side, not the windshield side correct?
The shims clip onto the bonnet first on the engine side, then you can fit the washer jet, I think you have put them in at an angle so the jet fits on the shim then you can push the other side in and it will lock in place
Thank you so much.
Once you clip the shim into the bonnet the jet will clip in very easily.
However, in my haste, I have managed to lose one of my shims. 3 weeks before I can get another one.
