Soooo, I managed to break off the tip of a needle I was using to try and adjust the aim inside one of my front windscreen washer jets and now need to try and source a replacement nozzle.
Appropriate replacement's part number: 85381-12050. About 15-20 euros at your local dealer.
The same part number apparently applies to almost every Toyota of that era (Yaris, Starlet, Corolla, Carina, MR2, Celica, Camry and Land Cruiser). I can provide specific chassis numbers - year spans if interested.
I've got a couple jets that seem to be blocked. But even when they work right, I think I'd prefer to have more of a spray than the streams that are normal for my 2004 RAV4. Can those nozzles be changed out with a generic part with a different stream type?
The OEM Hilux nozzles (as already suggested by neodagzph) is a very popular upgrade.
Search on the internet for part number 85381-0K010 (also the 85381-04040 for the Tacoma seems identical) and decide for yourself if you like the spraying pattern.
Can't be 100% sure though if it fits an '04.
EDIT: It is basically the same as the 85381-34030 avpluck suggested, with the difference that these come with a straight connector for the washer hose. I think that the nozzle on your Rav comes with an angled one, so the "Hilux suggestion" should be a direct fit.
Yup - eventually I used the Toyota eBay shop - although they didn't have the nozzles on there when I looked, an email to them resulted in them adding them as a product which I then ordered.
can you send a link or a pic of them im not seeing them in the toyota store now, im looking for some for my rav4 II however all the angled ones im seeing arent in the correct direction or would that not matter as much?
thats the right angle but im looking for one that sprays in a fan instead of those two streams, so i can get better coverage, do you know of any like that?
As I've posted before (on the same thread!!!), the Hilux - Tacoma nozzle is a popular upgrade for many Toyota models. Search for part number 85381-0K010 for videos and pictures to determine if the spray pattern is satisfactory to you.
