Volvo 480 Club Europe

I have found an alternative to the original washer jets that are far stronger than the originals; they look very similar and do not hit the underside of the bonnet:

You will need to buy the plastic nuts separately.

I fitted them to my 480 after the originals broke. The main issue is where the washer pipe clips on points downwards but there is sufficient room for them to fit. On the driver's side (on UK cars), you have to move the wiper motor/linkage a little out of the way to get your hand in to screw the underside securing nut and fit the tubing. Just be careful you don't crimp the washer tube, when you relocate the wiper motor (2 bolts) to its original position

The jets work well and give the same strong performance as the originals

How do they sit plastic scuttle?cover the hole ok?

Have added to the watch list for reference!

I've used these:

They hit the bottom of the bonnet unless you remove the small washer you can see in the image. Fairly similar to the originals and perform in the same way, i.e. a stream of water rather than a jet that shoots of the top of the car, which I have experienced!

Do these work for the rear jet as well?
