Washer nozzles

Lately I noticed that the spray coming out of the nozzles of my 2009 Tacoma is really weak and anemic. I read all the threads and did the air pressure clean to all the rubber parts, removed the nozzles and soaked them in CLR... but no avail... still very weak.
I found on a thread that the Honda Odyssey

$19 76810-TK8-A01 Front Windshield Washer Nozzle Fit for Honda Odyssey KA/KC/KL/KX 2011 2012 2013 2014 2Packs

76810-TK8-A01 works flawlessly on a 1st gen... My question is will they fit on a second gen?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

 

The pressure (which you describe as "weak") doesn't have much to do with the nozzles. You need to look at the pump.

 

Is it cold where you are? Are you using summertime fluid?

Hows the pressure when you disconnect the lines going into the nozzles?

Check for obstruction in the lines.

 

Start at the pump checking pressure as you go. Also use air pressure to blow out the lines. Hope this helps.

 

I did pass air in all of my lines... I only run winter washer fluid... even during summertime. The pump could be weak but I removed one of my nozzles and I tried to blow air through and it was obstructed. The other thing that tells me it's possibly the nozzles is that one of them performs better than the other, if it was the pump I presume that the jets coming out of the nozzles would be equal?

I did get a part no. For a Honda nozzle that seems to fit (expensive though). There's a thread in the first gen section talking about this same issue and some guys tried the Honda part ans sware by it...

 

What kind of air flow do you get thru the system from the pump with the lines disconnected fromthe nozzles. If one line is partialy blocked you may not get equal pressure out of each nozzle.

 

Washer nozzles do clog up. I've had to replace a few on other vehicles, especially after they get old. Pull the nozzle(s) and check fluid flow. If it seems strong, replace the nozzle.

I can't speak to what works on a 2nd Gen Tacoma. In the past I've used generic replacements.

Toyota is proud of them - part number 85381-04040

I had the same on my wifes Highlander. Replaced the nozzles and all is well once again.

 

Check for congealed sludge at the bottom of the reservior blocking the inlet to the pump

 

Thanks for all your comments and replies... I did all the test possible so next step is to change the nozzles.

what nozzles does everyone use? Or is stock serviceable?
ie:
-service
-OEM or cheaper aftermarket replace
-use same pattern or different

Other brand vehicles have pinhole style that can be unclogged with a needle tool, and blown free with compressed air

(water calcium buildup clogs over time)

fan style exists but needle cleaning doesn’t work on that. Only WD40 soak then compressed air which yields mixed results

both takes multiple tries as well, potentially being more hassle than replacement without success garunteed

and not everyone has constant 100psi shop air supply
Cans of keyboard duster (compressed air) are likely not high enough pressure to substitute

 

Can't say I've ever thought about a washer nozzle upgrade

On customer's cars I just go dealer if its a nice vehicle or cheapie/O'reilley's if nobody cares.

 

honestly the stock pattern is probably fine
Dealer is $30/ea. Dorman is like $8. They don’t have a good rep but hopefully they didn’t figure out how to mess up a nozzle. Not sure who the supplier is. I’ll see what RockAuto has

might be mine being older, 08. Spray output has gotten noticeably worse over the years
