washer jet replacement 700

I have bought some replacement washer jets for my car. I cannot find any info in the FAQ about how to remove or replace these? Anybody done this before or know how to remove them? Thanks!

As long as you're replacing your jets, you may want to add the in line filter that volvo cam out with for later models. It's part number 3538564 . Just cut the hose 5" from the reservoir and put it in.

I was able to remove the jets from our '88 745 GLE without removing the pad. I used a small pair of slip-joint pliers to pinch the locking tabs in so that they fit through the hole. I have read that later-model jets are better.

My jets were always clogging. Our '90 744 turbo never seemed to clog. I found that it had an in-line filter! I flushed out the lines and installed the filter for a '90 model, and have not had a problem in the last 5 years.

You need to partially remove the sound insulation on the inside of the hood. Then, you'll be able to see a couple tabs on each jet. You'll need 1 or two small flat head screw drivers to pry in the tabs. (AFAIK you're car is the same as my 86 740)
