Default Mine has the same problem

The washer sprays either right onto the wiper arm air deflector or just below it. Last time I was at the dealer the tech said it would be a simple adjustment. I have included it on my list of things to be fixed on my warranty visit on the 26th. If its not solved before then I will tell you what they do to fix it.

I have a 2000 1.8T as well

Default Depends...does it appear to be aimed incorrectly, or does it appear

to lack enough pressure to force the liquid stream up further on your window?

If it's misalignment, that's easily adjusted by putting a needle or safety pin into the wash jet you need to adjust, and repositioning the jet. Do this gently, or you'll screw up the jet in the process.

If there isn't enough pressure...something is wrong with the pump installation or there is some kind of blockage in the lines running to the jets. Best thing to do there is disconnect the lines near the jets, turn on the pump, and see if it will push the debris up and out of the open lines.
