DIY: P2 S60, V70 2.5T Washer Fluid Reservoir and Washer Pump Info"

[abscate]

I’m still scared of a world where a fluid pump can be manufactured and delivered retail for $5

Question for the gurus re 2004 V70 2.5T FWD washer pump (9169611)...

Car is away from home (kid in college).
Washer pump does not pump fluid.

Has anyone here replaced the washer pump WITHOUT removing the bumper?

Questions:

1. Could someone confirm for me the pump that squirts
on the main windshield is 9169611?

2. What is the PN for the pump that squirts on the tailgate glass?

[cn90]

I stopped by the dealer and they say for my car with chassis 360238--->, the
washer pump is 31349228.

They showed some tricks:

1. If no fluid reaches the rear tailgate and you can hear the zzzzz noise,
then the hose is likely blocked. Tip: disconnect the hose that feeds
the tailgate and blow some compressed air, if air comes back to the reservoir
(ask a second person to look while you apply compressed air) ---> no blockage.

2. If no fluid to both front and rear glass, then pump is bad, but this is rare.

Owning both 2004 V70 2.5T (early 2004 model) and 2007 S60 2.5T created some confusion
for me lol.

Today, I have some free time, so I am putting together relevant info for everyone.

- FCPEuro.com website as well as dealer websites can be confusing and inaccurate!
They state chassis number etc. etc. It can get very confusing and even then, it is not accurate...
So, if you don't want surprises when ordering reservoir or washer pumps, then...

TLDR: the BEST thing you can do for your car is STOP, don't read further.
Go out to your car, and assuming it is stock, get a piece of cardboard, lie down and look
upward the area in front of RF tire, take photos. Then you will know what you need to buy
(i.e., which reservoir or which washer pump type).

- I was "lazy" (i.e. too busy) and did not check, ordered the "wrong" reservoir. Turned out it
was perfect bc I wanted to get rid of the HL jet system anyway. Please see my posts
listed previously in this thread.

- The engineering transition happens around 2004: different electrical connectors, from old-school
Denso (made in Japan) to new-school Transpar (made in China).
Now you can see Ford management geniuses at work lol!

- You just have to ask yourself a few questions:
* Model year 2001-2004 vs 2004-2007 V70, 2004-2009 S60 etc.
* Sedan vs Wagon
* Regular HL wiper washer vs high-pressure jets (mounted on bumper). Just to digress a bit, I
always de-commission these wiper/high-pressure jet systems bc they drink too much juice.
You can keep them stock, up to you. All I have now is the standard windshield glass washer
system to minimize fluid consumption, it works for me.

- For the sedans S60, S80, the main difference is mostly in the electrical connector:
2001-2004 vs 2004-2009 S60.
- If you don't have the high-pressure washer pump, then the regular washer pump(s) is in
the front area. This makes replacing washer pump easier.
- If you have the high-pressure washer pump (located at the bottom of the reservoir), then the
regular washer pump is moved aft (just in front of the RF tire area). This makes replacing
washer pump a bit trickier.

For the wagons, besides the difference in the electrical connector, it is a bit more complex...
- For 2001---> early 2004 V70, Volvo used 2 separate washer pumps. They are Denso
and very good. The reservoir has 2 holes for these early V70s.
- In late 2004 or 2005 ---> V70...Volvo redesigned the washer pump to have reverse polarity so
regular current: washer fluid to the front glass/HL area (BLACK port on the washer pump).
Reverse the polarity: washer fluid to the REAR area (WHITE port on the washer pump).
Now Volvo went back to the original reservoir 30655661 used in early S60 models.
This reservoir has only one hole. And since the washer pump can be either 1-port (sedan) or 2-port
(wagon), the same reservoir can be used for both sedans and wagons...
This is why when you search for V70, it gets confusing bc for late 2004 V70 --->, they used the new
pump with 2 ports, this was why they went back to the reservoir used in the sedans S60, S80.

PS: Whenever you replace the washer pump, you should replace the rubber grommet too, it is
inexpensive, around $3-$4, this helps prevent future leak (slow leak around the grommet).

Very nice, cn! Super helpful.

Updated title to capture info present. Thanks, Cam!

Thanks abscate.

- Just crawled under and looked at my 2005 XC90 2.5T for fun lol...
This washer pump has 2 ports (Black and White).
- The washer pump is located aft of the reservoir, with a small piece of wood (2x4),
one can push the plastic liner away a bit to replace the washer pump without the need
to remove any parts (such as liner or bumper cover) at all.
- Although I have not replaced the washer pump on the 2005 XC90, I am just gauging
it for others...

Does this Apply to a 2004 V70 wagon also please, thanks

[plumsmooth]

I wonder if I should try this on my V70 Wagon?

It turned out the leak was from the front right headlamp washer hose, which, when the tank is filled, had enough fluid/pressure from gravity to leak at a small crack and flow back along the outside of the hose to the bottom of the reservoir, making it appear that the tank was leaking. I left it installed, cut the cracked hose end off and reattached it to the headlamp washer and all is well.
