Volvo Washer Jets

[Adrian_Evo_6]

Hey guys,

My Volvo washer jets are leaking onto my bonnet even when i dont use them and it tends to leak when i put my foot down.
I wouldnt mind so much if i had a dark coloured car but because mines white, its really noticeable when the washer fluid dries, guess its gives me an excuse to clean her more often

I've checked the connections and they all feel secure so im a bit clueless... Any recommendations?

Get yourself a non return valve and put it in the pipeline

Thanks for replies.

Im guessing i can just pick this part up from a Halfords?

I know its such a small thing but i cannot wait until the washer jets stop leaking!

should be able to get one there or try ebay or a pet store for fish tanks etc.
Here's one on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NON-RETURN-VALVE-Washer-Jets-3-16-pipe-Qty-1-/150632106408?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item23125f89a8#ht_640wt_905

Yeah usually happens due to a non return valve giving up.

Just a quick update... Bought the valve from Halfords as its only a 10 second walk from my house and no more leaking

Thanks for the help guys.
