Screen Washers

m0bzy · Feb 24th, 2008, 14:48

Screen washers packed up on the 960 on friday , h/light and rear screen working fine.
Checked plugs on tank , both OK , then started pulling pipes and found the non return valve / splitter was leaking.This brought back memory's of my Saab 9000,same thing happened on that, only on the Saab the whole tank drained through the valve.I managed to effect a repair that lasted for weeks and as the Volvo valve is of the same construction I thought I would try again and it works.
Prize the red cap off the valve and clean out the remainder of the ruptured diaphram,find an Elastoplast/Band Aid and pull off a piece of backing,this will be your new diaphram.By applying marker pen on the edge of the red cap and then pushing the cap down on the plaster backing,it will leave a mark that you can cut around , place the disc into the valve , snap the cap back on,and Bobs your Uncle.

Hi,

If only you'd taken some photos of this...

So, the backing plastic to the plaster can be used to make a new diaphram for the valve..

Re:Temp diaphram , yes the backing works well , I have tried the plaster itself without a great deal of success.
