V40 windscreen washer nozzles

Jan 09, 2007 2 Replies

Greetings a.a.v



This might appear an over-cautious attitude on my part but I thought it better to ask, just in case ....



The rear windscreen washer nozzle on my 1998 V40 is well and truly blocked. Poking with a pin simply pushes the blockage back a bit, and it returns, as they so often do. I will need to remove the nozzle for a proper cleaning, but before I do, does any one know of any problems removing the thing? Any delicate projections that snap easily, etc?



Any advice or experiences gratefully received.



Cheers


I am not familiar with the design but can't you just remove the hose and blow it out from the nozzle end with an air hose? Then run the washer for a moment with the hose detached to flush out any debris that may linger in the hose.

I'll go easy. Neither am I familiar with the design and don't know how much slack Volvo have allowed, for the pulling out of stuff.
