2KD955985 5M0955985C Windshield Washer Nozzle: Diagnosis and OE Fitment Guide

QUICK ANSWER

Weak, uneven or misdirected windshield-washer spray should be confirmed through physical inspection and the workshop checks appropriate to this component before a replacement part is ordered. The same symptom can have more than one cause, so compare the installed component, all OE references, connections and vehicle information.

WHAT THIS PART DOES

The Windshield Washer Nozzle directs washer fluid onto the windshield to support effective glass cleaning. Its role does not prove that it is the cause of a customer complaint; diagnosis must connect the observed fault to this component.

SYMPTOM SNAPSHOT

• No spray from one nozzle while fluid supply is present
• Spray pattern is weak, uneven or incorrectly directed
• Nozzle body or hose connection is cracked or loose
• Fluid leaks at the nozzle connection instead of reaching the glass

These symptoms are diagnostic clues, not a guarantee that this part has failed.

DIAGNOSIS BEFORE ORDERING

1. Confirm washer-fluid level and pump operation
2. Inspect the hose for kinks, disconnection, leakage or freezing
3. Check the nozzle for external blockage without damaging the calibrated outlets
4. Compare heated or electrical connector features where fitted
5. Confirm nozzle shape, mounting tabs and hose connection before ordering
