Default Headlight washer nozzle

One of the headlight washer nozzles on my wife's 03 A6 is missing and consequently sprays fluid all over the hood and fender. Is it possible to get this item new without buying the entire "nozzle":


What I mean is that looking at this picture, if I look at the right view, one of the two round tips (the little circle) is missing so that one side is wide open.


I'm still pretty new to the Audi parts scene, but I tried ECS tuning and didn't see what I needed there. FCP has the whole thing (I stole their picture)

Maybe it isn't designed to come apart and I'm stuck with the whole thing?

From what I understand the nozzle is available separately, but eh cylinder may be broken and not hold in the new nozzle.
(at least that is what is up with my Touareg) (More Audi than VW)

If it's just the nozzle that's broken, i.e., the head comes up, the head can be replaced without removing the bumper cover. You still have to buy the entire assembly but you just use the head. Just pull the head completed out of the housing and do the same with the new assembly. Put the head into the old housing and press it in firmly. Make sure the nozzles are pointing toward the headlight! The bumper-color/painted cap snaps onto the washer head.

Otherwise you have to remove the bumper cover and replace the entire assembly bolted to the back of the cover. I did that the first time..the second time I just replaced the alien's head.

Seems you can but the nozzle from Audi for about $57 or an aftermarket one on ebay for about $10

eBay does seem to be the best price; I just have to wait for shipping from China, but we order things direct from China quite a bit, so we are used to it.

Hello,
First sorry to hitch off of this post, but it seems that it might help me as well...

I have a '03 Audi C5 Allroad and it seems as if these headlight sprayers are similar to mine. I’m having an issue where the sprayer “cups” are not retaining the sprayer *****/tips because they appear to be cracked. So when you activate them, they just pop off.
Does anyone know if I can, pull these arm assemblies out, without taking the bumper off and replace them with this part that was specified?
