Body/Trim: 70: - W/Washer Jets

volvo again · Jul 26th, 2019, 15:27

Anyone know of decent windscreen washer jets, on my third set, from ebay, PFS and Parts Monster, supposed to be genuine Volvo items but the spray pattern is absolutely useless, and they can't be adjusted ?

Not sure if main dealers will still have them for '98 models, tried some from a 240 series that can be adjusted but they're too small for the holes in the bonnet.

Thanks guys

Main dealer will get them in. It may be that the OEM no longer makes them, so a new "OEM" will have been appointed, but the quality may be poor.

Skandix have them but quite expensive at £33. May be my only choice, fed up with the poor quality of so called "genuine Volvo"

I have bought genuine Volvo jets from a Volvo dealer and no issues with quality. The genuine jets are not adjustable.

C/S/V70s moved from the adjustable 'two fork' nozzles seen on the 850s and earlier to a fan spray pattern that is not adjustable. They are still stocked by Volvo. So, basically what ITSv40 said

I run a late 850 , with a small modification to the bonnet holes you can fit the screen wash jets from the post 2000 V70 models , this gives a much better spray pattern on the screen
