Windshield Washer

Post by jbo6924 »

Replaced the one way valves a short time ago and only get a trickle of fluid from the windshield sprayers. Is there something I'm not doing correctly? They worked fine until the valve went bad, now I get nothing to the front or back wipers.(washer fluid)

Pretty sure! But it never hurts to double check.

How many did you end up replacing? It sounds like pressure is still escaping somewhere. Here's the whole parts list for a V70. It looks like there's 3 multiple-way valves in the system.
