Wipe Fluid Hose S70 1998

Take the pad off the bottom of your hood. You just need to turn the fastners 90 degrees to remove them. Try not to drop them. Having a helper is VERY handy.

Where the hose splits from one to two there is a tee with a check valve in it.

Try the washer to see where it is leaking. If the leak is in the check valve, it is probably a bad check valve.

You can remove the check valve and take it apart - the only things in there are a small spring and a round rubber flap. Usually the flap is torn or has melted into a gooey substance.

If the flap is bad you can fashion a flap out of thin rubber, I used a piece of dishwashing glove as suggested at ozbrick, and the valve will probably work great.

My washers worked better than they ever had.
