I need the metal part that attaches to the exhaust manifold on one end, then connects to the air intake metal hose on the other. I don't know what you call it, and can't seem to find it at any parts places on line. The only junk yard that MIGHT have it is about 125 miles away....seems Volvos aren't good profit items for them. Any ideas?? thanks--Tyler
You don't want it. It makes your car run poorer than it needs to unless it is freezing. Does it get ridiculously cold there?
ipd has them for 15 dollars...theres a thermostat in the air box that must function properly or the maf sensor will fail due to heat...if your in the usa your car wont pass smog test with no preheater hose
You don't want it. We are in west central Ohio - It has gotten down to -10F before, just about every winter maybe for a couple of nights. -25F worst case. The end of the hose is about 4 inches from the manifold. I think the thermostat is going to act accordingly - switch to front air intake if other gets too warm, or maybe hang in the middle if total air-in is about normal...whatever the case I don't see the harm, for now, anyway. Thanks--Tyler
Can the thermo fail from a missing uh, "boot", or am I missing something? I know the thermo is working properly now. I have been through this vehicle from bumper to bumper and replaced the item last December. Thanks--Tyler
