Mornin' folks,

2007 XC90 V8 AWD (Not V8 Sport)

Just bought it a week ago. Great vehicle. After pouring in a half gallon of washer fluid - then realizing the reservoir was empty the next day - I have discovered I have a leak.

I have read the front bumper cover has to be removed in order to remove/replace the washer fluid reservoir. Ugh.

Questions before I start messing with this:

1. Anything I should check in terms of hoses, etc BEFORE removing bumper cover? Hate to dismantle then realize I could have replaced a hose or gasket without removing it.

2. Best place to look for replacements Volvo parts online? Looks like the reservoir runs about $40-$50 in my brief search.

3. How difficult is this worst case? As in I have to replace the actual reservoir, hoses, etc. I am no mechanic, but can follow instructions.


Any help with this process is greatly appreciated!!



Thanks,


- Cameron
