Volvo Headlight Washer Pump Front (S40 V50 C70) - Genuine Volvo 31283805

Product Information

A headlight washer pump is a small electric pump within a car that delivers pressurized washer fluid to the headlight lenses, cleaning them when activated, typically in situations with heavy rain, snow, or mud; a failing headlight washer pump will show symptoms like no fluid spraying from the headlight washer nozzles, inconsistent spray patterns, or the pump not engaging at all when activated.

• No fluid spray: The most obvious sign - when you activate the headlight washers, no fluid comes out of the nozzles.
• Weak or inconsistent spray: The fluid may spray weakly or in an uneven pattern, not effectively cleaning the headlight lens.

About Genuine Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
