Default v90 windscreen wiper

Can someone just clarify for me... my driver side wiper on my 2017 V90 is not spraying screenwash; only the passenger side one. I can't remember if it has always been like that or whether they both used to spray the screenwash (which I think is the case, and makes sense..).

Surely they both should be spraying...? If so, anyone else had this issue?

Thanks.

yes both should spray , are you using genuine volvo wash fluid?
the cheap stuff is salt based and will crystallise in the heated nozzles and block them .
Volvo fluid is spirit based and leaves no deposits whatsoever , as usual , the best stuff you can get ..

You may have an issue, however, I thought the same on mine when I first got the car - took a few attempts to spot the screen wash coming out of the driver's wiper as it's that bit smaller and moves quite quickly. I'd suggest it's a good idea to check on the driveway where you can give it your full attention before sending the car off to the dealer.

Thanks. I thought that it should be both.

I don't think it will be poor screen wash as last time it was filled up was at a service so assume (maybe naively) they used the pukka stuff.

I'll have a look in the light tomorrow and see if there is anything obvious.
