I can recommend this brand and only £3 a gallon in my local Boyes Store, if you have a branch near you snap some up, its good to minus 10°c at 50/50 mix and to minus 20°c neat.

This plus the headlight washers uses quite a bit of fluid each time. One tank full lasted less than a month with mixed local/highway driving for me and that's with the larger capacity tank that you get with the headlight washers fitted. Good system though. AWM |

I have seen washer fluid in supermarkets which states good to a minus figure but when you read the label small print it said in a normal 50/50 mix it will freeze at 0°c, some of these are ready mixed so not much cop in winter.
Ensure your fluid is up to the job and you have the correct dilution ratio.

The service managed said he’d seen it before (clogging with white residue) and suggested using Volvo branded screen wash to prevent this happening in the future. Not sure if this is just aimed at getting me to spend more money or whether the Volvo screen wash is better quality and won’t clog the system.

Doubt it.
From above, seems a few had the white residue from new.

Mine had clogged up on its original screen wash, it had never even had any water added.
Mentioned to the chief mechanic when it was serviced in December and he said that they had had no other instances of this reported. I asked him to make sure it was mentioned on my recorded problems as I was concerned that if it happened on the front washers it would completely block them

My MY2019 has the Aqua Blades, which have the water coming out of the blade. So far they are getting on my nerves, the drivers side still has nothing coming out of the bottom inch so i get a horrible smear.
Cold the other morning and nothing coming out - may be the mix I had though TBH, I use the genuine Volvo stuff (best I've found for no smear etc.) but only using the little bottle you can get as the measure, probably need waay stronger mix. The rear blade FYI is £18 to replace, I bought a new one because the little clip that connects the pipe to the outlet on the motor arm has been ****ty since new, told my dealer about it the other week but as I'd fixed it by pushing it back on I assume they didn't see a fault. I can't be arsed to send it in just for that so got my brother to order one for me, 12 quid.

Was the same for me - bottom right hand corner of the front screen would not clear as no water got there. Once the dealer cleaned the white residue out of the blade and water holes /jets it was fine. I wonder how long until it blocks up again.
