- The washer pump is working, as I can hear it buzzing when I pull the stalk.
- Headlight washers work fine.
I’m thinking I have a blockage somewhere. I tried cleaning the nozzles with a pin & it made no difference. I checked under the bonnet & there’s no loose hoses on the check valves that attach to the nozzles.
Any solutions are welcome. My car is a P3 shape S80.
Thanks.

It will be the nozzles or the valve where the 3 pipes meet on the underside of the bonnet ..
Caused by using cheap fluid which crystallises in the valve and jets especially so on heated jets .
The cure ? Use genuine volvo fluid which is spirit based and leaves no deposits whatsoever. It also stops bacteria build up .
