Windshield Washer Nozzle Cross-Reference: Find the Right Number by Brand — MotiveCrate guide cover

Washer nozzles do not have a universal cross-reference the way oil filters do. Each nozzle number is tied to a specific housing shape and spray angle, so the only reliable rule is: match the OEM number exactly. This page is a working reference — it lists the numbers we stock grouped by vehicle brand, explains how to read a nozzle number, and shows what to do when you cannot find yours.


How to use this page

  1. Find your OEM part number (on the old nozzle, a parts diagram, or from the dealer).
  2. Search this page for that number using your browser's find function (Ctrl+F / Cmd+F).
  3. If it is listed, the "Fits" column tells you which models it was built for — confirm your year range.
  4. If it is not listed, jump to What to do if your number is not here.

Why exact matching matters: two nozzles can look identical in a product photo and still aim at completely different points on the windshield. The difference is inside the housing. This is the single most common cause of returns.


Cross-reference by brand

Honda

OEM Number Fits Notes
76810-SDA-A11 Honda Accord / Civic / Odyssey Hood-mounted windshield nozzle

Notes: 76810-SDA-A11 is one of the most-requested Honda washer nozzles. It fits multiple Accord, Civic and Odyssey years — confirm your model year against your original number before ordering. For the full diagnostic, see Honda Civic washer not working (2006-2015).

Toyota / Lexus

OEM Number Fits Type
85381-12300 Toyota Camry / Corolla Windshield nozzle
85044-60060 Toyota Land Cruiser / Lexus Headlight washer nozzle
85321-26020 Toyota Land Cruiser / Lexus Washer check valve
8532128020 Toyota Land Cruiser / Lexus Washer check valve

Notes: Two Toyota check-valve numbers appear here because Toyota used both formats across production years. A failed check valve causes the "delay then burst" symptom — not a nozzle fault.

Volkswagen / Audi / Skoda

OEM Number Fits Notes
2KD955985 VW Jetta / Golf / Passat / Tiguan / Touareg Heated-seat, heated-nozzle variants exist
8K9955985A Audi A3 / A4 / A6 / Q5 / Q7 Confirm chassis code
3B9955985A Audi / VW Golf / Skoda Older platform
6RD955985 VW Golf / Passat / Beetle Later platform
1Z0955985 Skoda Octavia —

Notes: The VW group reuses nozzle families across many models, which is why several numbers look similar. The final letters matter — 9955985A and 9955985 are different parts. For diagnostics, see VW & Audi washer not working.

BMW / Mini

OEM Number Fits Notes
8iME36E90E60 BMW 3 Series Confirm E-chassis
61667061614 Mini Cooper R50 / R52 / R53 Chassis-specific
BM5117666AB Ford Focus / BMW Mini Shared platform part

Ford

OEM Number Fits Notes
AR3Z17603A Ford Explorer / Mustang —
BM5117666AB Ford Focus / BMW Mini Shared platform part

General Motors (Chevrolet / Buick / Cadillac)

OEM Number Fits Type
15778747 Cadillac SRX / STS / CTS Windshield nozzle
13227300 Chevrolet / Buick / Cadillac Washer fluid reservoir cap

Notes: 13227300 is a reservoir cap, not a nozzle — a common mix-up. A cracked cap lets debris into the tank, which is exactly what clogs nozzles later.

Nissan / Infiniti

OEM Number Fits Notes
28932-JD000 Nissan Qashqai / X-Trail —
28932-9U000 Nissan / Infiniti —
28882-AU300 Nissan / Infiniti / Lexus Wiper arm cap

Hyundai / Kia

986303J000 Kia Sportage —
98630-3X900 Hyundai Elantra / Kia Rio —
98630-YY000 Hyundai / Kia Sportage —
983903F000 Hyundai / Kia Wiper arm cap

Chrysler / Dodge / Ram / Jeep

7842334000 SsangYong Korando C / New Actyon Windshield nozzle

Reading a washer nozzle part number

You do not need to decode every character, but a few patterns are worth knowing:

Pattern What it usually means Example
Final letter Revision or variant level 8K9955985 vs 8K9955985A
Hyphenated groups Domestic (US/Asian) format, often grouped by system 85381-12300, 28932-JD000
Long unbroken digits Often European format 986303J000, 6438J2
Letters mid-number Platform or plant code BM5117666AB, 2KD955985

Practical takeaway: when searching, try both the hyphenated and un-hyphenated forms. 85381-12300 and 8538112300 should both find the same part, but not every search engine treats them the same way.


Windshield vs headlight nozzles — do not mix them up

Two entries above (85044-60060 and 9186049) are headlight washer nozzles. They are a different system:

Windshield nozzle Headlight nozzle
Location Hood, cowl, or wiper arm Front bumper
Aims at Windshield glass Headlamp lens
Often paired with Wiper arm, hose, check valve Bumper trim, separate pump
Interchangeable? No No

Ordering a headlight nozzle for a windshield repair is a guaranteed return.


What to do if your number is not here

Three options, in order:

  1. Use a universal nozzle. We carry universal nozzles grouped by common hood-opening styles — Asian brands, European brands, and GM-style fan spray. These work when no exact number is available, but expect to adjust the spray aim. See universal options.
  2. Ask us. Send your OEM number or your year/make/model through our contact page. We add fitments based on customer requests and will tell you whether we stock it.
  3. Check the check valve and hose instead. If the nozzle is not the failed part, you may need a check valve or a hose kit rather than a nozzle.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a universal washer nozzle cross-reference?

No. Unlike oil filters or spark plugs, washer nozzles are not cross-referenced by a shared standard. Fitment depends on housing shape, spray angle and mounting tab, which differ by model. Match the OEM number.

Can I use a nozzle from a different car if it looks the same?

Not reliably. Visually similar nozzles frequently have different internal angles, so the spray lands in the wrong place even though it clips in. Match the number.

What is the difference between 85321-26020 and 8532128020?

Both are Toyota/Lexus washer check valves. The formatting differs because Toyota used both across production years. Confirm against your original part.

Why do some numbers end in a letter?

A trailing letter indicates a revision or variant — for example 8K9955985 vs 8K9955985A. They are not always interchangeable, so include the letter when ordering.

My nozzle sprays but misses the windshield. Is it the wrong part?

Usually yes. A nozzle that sprays but aims wrong almost always has the wrong angle for that model. Confirm the number before trying to bend or adjust anything.

Do you supply these in bulk for shops?

Yes — we supply distributors, repair shops, online retailers and private-label brands across the US, Canada and Mexico. See wholesale and bulk orders.
