Anyone adjusted their MK1 ZS front washer jets?
Any tips?

Nothing I can see in the manual or a forum search for "washer jets" 🤷🏻‍♂️

TIA
 
The manual talks about inserting a thin wire to remove blockages so if you can insert a wire you can usually use this to alter the position of the nozzle.

I am not 100% sure about the adjusting set up on the ZS EV but I am willing to bet that you are absolutely bang on with your theory @Alb .
Normally you will find, if you choose a suitable size sewing 🧵 needle, that is a good fit in the centre hole of the jet, you will be able to use the leverage of the needle to move the position of the actual ball type jet.
Basically the washer jet is a simple metal sphere, with hole passing through it.
It is mounted inside of the plastic housing but can be adjusted.
Only a very small movement in the ball jet, will alter the direction of spray jet a lot.
It’s a lot easier if you get someone to press the screen washers while YOU make the small adjustments to each jet, or you could be there a while 🤣.
This simple but effective system has been used for many many years now.
 
I know it works that way on my other car but that produces a jet more than a spray.

Have a look at them one day... I am not reminded of all the other cars' jets I have ever looked at...
