To whoever posted a while back about upgrading the washer nozzles with the newer style from the V70, thanks for the advice. The new ones from Vovo of Houston work MUCH better than the old style. They were a cinch to change to boot. Great change for $10!

Hi, almost a year ago (or even more) I posted about the new style nozzles. I called it "the best $10 upgrade for your Volvo" or something like that.

Here's the info:

Windshield washer spray nozzles:
Old style P/N: 9127605
New style P/N: 6816437
Price: $5 from volvoparts.com

Glad you enjoy them!

Cheers

I made the similar mod on an S80, HOWEVER, the S80 uses three different P/N's on the original design because the three nozzle mounting holes in the hood are keyed to take the pre-adjusted old style. Henceforth, the new nozzles require some customizing to fit these keyed holes, which I did with a dremel tool. This note is just to warn that it's not a snap-in job, but it was worth it. I could have ground off the keys in the hood but was not that brave, prefering to ruin a $5.00 nozzle istead if need be.

could u put a link for the old post? thanks.

I believe there is a link on volvospeed.com for replacing the windshield washer T-valve. If you want to replace the washer nozzles, do the T-valve at the same time. The part numbers are: 1392074 (T-valve) and 6816437 (washer nozzles, order qty 2). A great, cheap mod...
