leaking windscreen wash reservoir
Hi, Have any of you guys fixed cracks in the plastic reservoir with the use of a sealant that mixes in water. I cant be asked to replace the reservoir and wondered if there is sealant on the market. thanks jack

Thanks to John`s advice I propose to remove the windscreen wash reservoir and glue the crack. I have looked on ebay and amazon for an appropriate glue but given the vast number I am confused as to which will do the best job.
Have any of you guys glued anything plastic on your volvos and if so which glue did you use. thanks jack |

You would still need to remove the reservoir to do it though so might as well replace ? Good luck

You would need to know what type of plastic it is in order to be sure of the right glue. My initial thought was to maybe try one of those waterproof type tapes that get advertised on the interweb.

If there is a need to remove the old one to repair - with no guarantee of success, just replace with a known good one - job jobbed.
