Tip for new style washer nozzle install on S80 S80 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be JLFOX on  Wed Nov 7 22:42 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I thought I'd share my experience installing the new fan spray nozzles in my

2000 S80. It worked out fine BUT the new nozzles I bought P/N 9188997, do not fit in the keyed slots in the hood without modification. Apparently the hood is keyed for the old nozzles which are custom manufactured for the left, center and right positions. There are two possible solutions. I used a dremel tool to cut keys in the new nozzles matching the removed nozzles. The other option is to grind away the keys in the hood slots with a dremel tool. It's aluminum so there's no rust exposure. Getting the fan spray pattern was worth the trouble to me.
