Windscreen washer jet + sunroof seal removal + fender compability

[hiloran]

My car Audi Coupe Quattro S2 1993 (Typ89) have bee stripped for painting but few things are still remaining.
- I can´t get the windscreen washer jets out. Which direction you should be pulling them to get them out?
- I do not have the battery on the car anymore. There is lots of loose cables and therefore don+t want to connect battery. Which fuse terminal should I feed voltage to get sunroof operating? I need to get sunroof seal out. Or is there mechanical way to open the sunroof a bit
- Front fenders are a bit rusty. The flange that connects to bumper is gone. Is the coupe fenders unique to other models. I got sedan fenders where the area for trim is a bit different. Else it looks good to cut replacement sections from it.

The washer Utes are difficult and you have to watch you don't distord tour bonnet around that area, there is a tab on the edge closest to the screen which has to be pulled towards the jet wash it self. I have just bought two brand new ones for 17 each plus vat for mine

The sunroof seal is best removed when the sunroof panel is out. To get at it you have to open the sunroof remove the interior trim by spreading very gently the two clips (between the sunroof and the trim panel) on either side and pushing the trim panel back. Its difficult to do as you have to rotate the trim panel to remove it.

Once the trim panel is out, close the sunroof and put it in tilt mode, remove the six torx bolts that hold the sunroof to the mechanism and carefully lift it out. You can then just pull the sunroof trim off.

Ok Thanks! Those washers are pain in the ***. Tab you mentioned is somehow under the hood plate? like: http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-80-FWD...per/ES2091197/

Tried to fiddle a bit with spatula but could not release any any tabs. gap between hood and the jet is so small. What kind of tool you used. I´m a bit worried about bending the bonnet.

It´s funny when you get this far and everything comes to stop with washer jets

open the sunroof...put it in tilt mode

So you need to have electricity for the sunroof switch? Any thoughts about what fuses are for sunroof switch?

You can wind it manually with the allen wrench.

Washer jets, make a hook with some coat hanger wire so you can pull the tab towards you from behind.

You need to make a tool to remove these.
Take a cheap flatblade screwdriver and bend the end 90° at a length of ~20-30mm. Now use this to hook around the retaining tab shown on the right of the picture below.

Now pull the screwdriver to compress the tab whilst simultaneously pushing the bottom of the washer jet with your other hand so that its released via the top of the bonnet.

HTH.

Tried with welding wire but VAG special tool made from nail worked ok

Better still, no crappy tools where harmed using your method.
