2001+ XC70 and V70 Windshield Washer Pump Fix w/ Pics

My pump had two outlets on it – most aftermarket pumps have only one. I’m not sure where the second line goes, so I purchased a Volvo original with the two outlets. This is a good time to remove the T junction and extra tubing for the headlight washers which are most likely no longer working. Plug in the pump and test.

XC70 and other P2 Front Windshield (Windscreen) washer pump replacement is easy and quick if you do it via the front bumper.

The pictures were taken after removal so things may look “out of order”

1. From under the hood, remove the six “push-button” clips from the bumper cover. Pop in the centre of the clip (lightly) and pry out the clip for re-use later.Button clip location

2. Pop out the two smaller inserts in the bumper and remove the two bolts. Remove the headlamp wipers.bumper bolts3. Inside the wheel well, towards the front of the car are Torx25 bolts that holds a retainer that “snugs up” the bumper against the fender (this will make more sense AFTER the bumper is off) loosen 5 to 10 turns, leaving them in. Tap gently on the bolts if necessary to release the retainers.torx4. Unclip the bumper at the sides and grab it from the center and pull straight out and lay it on the ground in front of the car. Disconnect the fog lights (if equiped) if you want to move it out of the way.bumper off5. Place a container under the washer bottle and pull the pump out (no screws or clips, just a rubber grommet)…

2001 Volvo V70 XC

Mix two parts wagon, one part SUV, and one part Orvis hunting outfitter together to create a hybrid vehicle tailormade for snow-belt family vacations. While the first-generation Cross Country grew from the 850/V70 wagon, the new XC was engineered as a distinct model from the get-go. The result is a more capable vehicle that improves on its predecessor by being almost 4 in. wider, 2 in. taller, having 2 in. more ground clearance, increased load capacity, and gaining only 10 lb in the process. Best of all, the better-equipped base XC is priced $2000 lower than last year’s model.
