I have a recollection that we had a similar problem some years ago with either this Volvo or our previous one, and even the garage never came up with an 100% "correct" part.
(The valve inside the part seems to have worn away leaving a hole right through the part.)
Can anyone point me at the best place to look on line for a part, or get advice. Or do I need to contact a main Volvo dealer?
Thanks for any advice.

On my 850 I (stupidly) got a part cheap (about £3.50) off eBay (and I didn’t realise it was from China, so took forever too) sure enough it packed in quickly. I then got one from partsmonster on eBay (that was a genuine part) for about £5.50 and works perfectly now. It wasn’t worth trying to save a couple of quid! I also need a more specialist valve for the wiper washers on my 850 which I’ve not been able to find, but my local Volvo dealer can get it (it’s a classic part so will take 2 weeks) and have quoted only £6.60!
The stealers aren’t always bad guys! (When they are Volvo!)
Sometimes the answer is simple…..your dealer!
Hope it helps
