"wide spray" washer jets
I was looking at some posts RE "wide spray" washer jets for other volvos and i was wondering if it can be be done to my beloved 460 and if not what is the trick for removeing the ones on my car to clean them.

Unfortunately the 400 series is just about the only car that they won't fit. unless some other manufacturer makes them for these cars. To remove yours for cleaning a pair of long nose pliers is the easiest tool to use. the jet is held in by two sping out lugs on it's underside. they can be a little tricky to get to but persevere! once you have released the jet detach the pipe from it and blow an airline through the jet if possible. try not to let the pipe slip back through the hole too much. if you lose it they can be a sod to thread back through. best way is to grip it with a pair of self locking pliers if you have them.
hope this helps |

You have to release the clips from below to take out the jet - the Haynes manual says just pull, but if you do the lugs break off! (Been there, done that)
Fortuantely, new jets are available from Volvo! Adrian |

FWIW, those wide spray jets are a nightmare, when you use them, you can't see a bloody thing and its irritating! Take it from me, stick with the ones that you have!
