volvo uses check valves to assure the water is dispensed immediately (not all when these clog...) due to lines staying full and not draining back into tank through pump.
The check valve uses where the line to hood splits for the two nozzles is prone to clogging with dried washer solvent.
They usually have to be replaced. Take the line single line off the check valve and then try the washer pump to see that it is coming out there. IF so get a check valve.
