Windshield spray nozzle

welcome! run a very thin wire through it to see if it's clogged. if not, you can try disconnecting the tube underneath to see if the fluid makes it that far.
i wonder what they mean by broken? is there physical damage? 50 bucks for anything at a dealership is cheap.

 

Found this:

(Weird, thought I'd responded to this post, but seems to have evaporated. Mod's at work??)





Merged. Don't make back to back posts, edit the original post.


I concur with bisco about the $'s btw. Parts prices are what they are. If you ask you might be able to get discount. The labour actually seems reasonable. The main issue: it may just be a trivial clog, DIY fixable for free.

To troubleshoot:

Who's filling the reservoir, and with what? Does the cap have grit on it? Was a clean funnel used? Was it run dry?

 

any luck with repair?

 

Your call, but if it were me, I'd switch to -40F freeze protected fluid, year 'round. Toyota sells a good quality fluid up here, 4 liters for $3.95 (Can). About a buck more than the loss-leader bottles at hardware stores, but meh: I'm there.

 

Broken? It's metal and might bend if you catch it while washing the car - bend it back. Oh wait, I think I remember seeing it and it's plastic, so it may be broken. It can clog - fix that as posted above. The hose can rot - replace the hose. But if you don't want to do it yourself, $50 is cheap at the dealer, as posted above. But they probably would charge more if you go in later to have it done, as it wouldn't be "added" to the normal service, so might take them a bit longer to get it going in the repair cycle.
I suspect it has corrosion inside plugging it and they don't want to mess with it to try to clean it out. Probably cheaper for you too as shop rates are at least $100 per hour. Not hard to rack up more than $25 replacement cost in time alone trying to clean it.
