The drivers side water sprayer isn't working properly, you can see a small amount of water coming out of it but it's not squirting at all.

I've topped the bottle up that's near the battery and then i read on here that there's another bottle so i tried looking for it, but there wasn't one.

And against the firewall, there's some part that has some pink stuff accumulating on it, it looks like it's corrosion.

here's a pic

any help or explanation on either of these things would be greatly appreciated.

The Twin Turbos dont have two washer bottles only the V8s do. To get it working again try and stick a pin or thin paper clip to unblock the nozzle on the bonnet.

The picture you have taken has got to do with the heater and it looks like it has a leak maybe? If your using Toyota Red Coolant. Id say thats what is leaking.

Perhaps take a closer inspection and see if the hose has a split in it or is loose.

Wow that worked a treat, one of the nozzles was clogged.


But one thing i accidently discovered, not sure if its common knowledge or what.
But if your nozzles are spraying too high or too wide. You can actually adjust it, just stick a pin in there and you can point the nozzle to where you want it to shoot.

This is a quick cross-section diagram i did, the hemisphere spray nozzle at front is directional

Another interesting point is that you can replace the nozzles with LS400 ones's. Why, you may ask? Well, you can then get them colour coded to suit your car.

I think the ES300 nozzles have 3 jets for better coverage.
