My car is going to the dealer for a 2nd time because of clogged water jets. I use Volvo screen wash so not sure what is causing it - maybe it is hard v soft water issue as others have suggested. I wonder whether using bottled water might help but seems extremely middle class thing to do

Only if it’s San Pelligrino. Evian is fine.

He has no idea what sort of fluid the owner or ex owners have been using , it takes quite a while for deposits to build up .. I am surprised he is slagging their own fluid off ... what is is his position in the company a driver , or a new recruit ? Volvo fluid is virtually methylated spirit which leaves no residue whatsoever ... It could also be calcium deposits from hard water of course ... Have you had the car from new and always used volvo wash fluid ?

As I have said earlier in this thread, mine blocked up the first summer I had it had never even refilled the washer bottle when it happened. White deposits all over the bonnet from the headlamp washers and on the windscreen scuttle. Rear washer blocked completely which I sorted by cleaning the rear washer one way valve which is behind the panel at the top of the boot lid. It blocked again this summer and same cure. Wiper blades are now partially blocked which I will report at next service in December. This is definitely a common problem as there was a long earlier thread about it. It was thought at the time that this was caused by some coating inside the pipes.

Clan as I said I hadn’t even put any water or fluid in the bottle when it first happened and I also live in a soft water area, even softer e the car came from as that was in the Lake District

I also get the white deposits and it started happening first time washers were used from new. I’ve not had to fill it up yet so it’s certainly nothing to do with what I’ve done. Nothing blocked yet thankfully but it is annoying getting white spots up the side of the windscreen and on the red paintwork.
