The check valve for the rear washer in my 245 quit -- the little rubber diaphragm thingy had softened and gummed up the inside, sealing it all shut.

After cleaning out the gunk, I replaced the diaphragm with a disc cut from a plastic sandwich bag and snapped the valve together.

Works perfectly.

Happy Holidays to all!

Don, good to hear from you. What are you up to these days? Are you still teaching?

I used a disc cut from the cuff of a dishwashing glove.

Have you added a filter from a late model 740?

No, but that's a very good idea. Thanks.

And with a Volvo, such a question is not trivial. Put another way... "Which is likely to last another 300,000 miles -- the glove or the baggy?"
