V60 Washer Fluid Warning and Non-Functional System

I'm having trouble with my 2017 Volvo V60 diesel. I keep getting a 'Washer fluid low' warning, even though the reservoir is full. The windshield washer system isn't working either. I checked the error memory and there's a fault stored. Anyone else experience this?

I have a V60 too, and I had the same problem. The 'Washer fluid low' warning kept appearing, even with a full reservoir, and then the washer stopped working. Did you check the washer motor itself? Maybe it's clogged or needs replacing.

Thanks for the suggestion! Where is the washer motor located? Is it easy to get to, or would I need to take things apart?

On mine, the washer motor was accessible after removing the front right wheel and the plastic fender liner. It's clipped onto the washer fluid reservoir. Unless you're comfortable doing that, I'd recommend a workshop. It might be a clogged filter, but they'll diagnose it properly.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a workshop, and it was the washer motor. They replaced it for 25€, and now it works perfectly!
