hi new to volvo and this one has a leak in the washer tank. i can't figure out the best way to remove it for repair or replacement. it looks like if i take the airbox out by unbolting the bracket that connects to the inner fender i can just lift it out. Maybe if i remove the entire headlamp assembly i could lift it out there.
? is which way does this get approached best? tia Steve
Just remove the airbox, that's the simplest way. Are you sure the reservoir is leaking? Perhaps it is simply a hose has slipped off one of the barbs, but you'll find that out once you get the airbox off.
cheers

thanks rs i'll give that airbox a wiggle / pull see whats what :) post a finding here after. Steve
Ok results are in for those that may want them. First of all let me say that access to the tank is almost straightforward. It's a press fit rubber grometts pull out some elbow muscle is required after removing intake runner and pipe on bottom.
I got access to the tank, removed the pump, put that aside and the tank came out of the bracket.
i didn't see any cracks or holes but did find a rubber gromett inside the tank and it fits nicely where the motor liquid pickup fits.....hummmmm. lines look good. plenty of crud flushed out, wham bam back together np, thanks RS :)
Glad to help. Anytime.
