Poor Washer Jet Stream

Recommended Posts

My driver's windscreen washer jet has a very poor jet flow compared to the passenger's side which shoots out. There doesn't seem to be anything blocking it.

I have replaced this valve before and I'm just wondering if it's the bit where the water comes out instead of the valve !!

The valve is easy to replace, but the jet part looks a bit more tricky.

And whilst I'm here, I lost one of the black clips that hold the black soundproof bit to the underside of the bonnet, so does anyone know where to get one ?

Any suggestions please ?

Warm up the pipe on the bottom of the jet and pull it off, just squirt it and see what the water flow is like, its more than likely the jet that is clogged due to a mix of screen wash over time

there are 4 different types of washer jets for your car

A quick look on the EPC shows 90467-09050 for that clip

I ordered the clips, they came today.  I disconnected the rubber pipes from three way water jet hose valve (part number 85321-28020, in photo number three) and the water shoots out the passenger side end of the valve and just trickles out of the driver side.  Tried blowing through the valve, steeped it in hot soapy water, in case it was blocked, but has made no difference.

This valve was a original toyota part, costing around £15 at the time and at todays price at Toyota, its about £18.  Its less that two years old, so not happy with the longevity of this original Toyota part and I'm not prepared to Shell out £18 again, so I'm taking a punt on one off eBay for £4.50.

Let's see how this one works.

Just to confirm, that it was the 3 way jet part that was knackered again.  Let's see how long this non Toyota cheap one lasts.

I also got the black plastic grommets from eBay, not identical to the existing Toyota ones, but they do they job.

Thanks
