Sorry, can't help with the routing diagram but I did have this exact problem! This gives some idea of the dash alarm madness, but I also had problems with the heater, radio, window and door locking... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RF9I4mu1Mw&t=24s

The leakage got into a CAN bus connector and caused my car huge alarm and control system problems... https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=289206

Hi Zebster

Thanks for you reply, i had found your old posts when googling the issues, no waring lights/ eletrical problems on mine yet, hopefully ill avoid any knock on issues. Hoping somone can give me some pointers as i dont fancy paying volvo rates to get it fixed!!

Just to clarify, the title says 'rear windscreen' but I'm guessing you're talking about a leak from the windscreen going onto the CEM etc as you mention the glovebox.

I haven't had this myself but I've seen various posts about a fault with the windscreen bonding and I think Volvo either pay in full or contribute to the repair.

I'm not sure how you'd go about confirming if your car is one of the affected ones but perhaps having a leak is enough. I think the main dealers do the repair FOC so I'd suggest you contact them to find out where you stand.

Hope that helps.

It's the feed pipe to the rear windscreen washer that the OP is having the problem with. I had the same problem.

I've never been sure whether the (front) windsceen seal leak was an issue for P3 models?

Ah, righto, I'll be quiet then It was the dash/glovebox that confused me. Carry on

There's a joint in the pipework somewhere above the CEM. Mine leaked at the joint but then sprayed at an angle onto a CANbus connector and caused havoc with the dash warnings and cabin controls. Pretty stupid place for a joint...

Now it makes sense. But you're right, whoever thought that was a clever idea needs a slap.

Anybody have any guides/pictures of how to remove the trim in the passenger footwell? going to have a go at fixing this weekend.
