vacuum bellows ventilation
...nearly everybody driving series 900 volvo sooner or later gets to know the hissing noise from under the dashboard, followed by a poor or nil reaction to the commands turning the knob for the distribution of the incoming air.....
diagnosis: one or more of the totally 3 vacuum bellows has got defunct. the problem: it takes a lot of hours merely to gain access for changing it/them. the even bigger problem: the volvo parts list shows "nla", no longer available! the part numbers are: -- 9463040 -- 9463041 -- 9463042 anybody out there who`s got an idea? thanks, regards christopher |

Not if you have no vaccum controls! This applies to AC.
I have spare units in my breaker if you need. What idea are you asking about? |

I'd 2nd TonyS9 - only ever had bog-basic heating controls which have, so far, proved reliable.
Perhaps the turbobricks FAQ has some suggestions for you as most / all US cars had a/c I'd expect.

Bellows search
Hey all, new here and came across this post which had recent activity. All 3 of the vacuum bellows in my '96 960 are in need of replacement. Part #9463041 (2) and #9463042 (1). I am having trouble locating them. Any help in locating these would be appreciated as its already apart and waiting on me to finish! Thank you and love this group!

Are we talking about these things :
The black row of "balls" on the left in the pic? Take it apart and fit a new "O" ring seal. Or, take it apart and squirt some RTV sealant into the "O" ring groove, refit the "O" ring and put it back together. Unless of course i'm thinking of something totally different!

I think this may be an older car than what you show. I have attached a pic of the three, if it works

Chris, my 1993 960 2.9 has similar issues as yours but only on one of the servos...and I live with it knowing it will go warm for a few seconds when the manifold vacuum reduces, but it soon comes back when you lift your foot off.
There is a full description of how to fix these servos (i.e. direct replacement) but as they are no longer available you can "fix" the old ones. The description is in the FAQ on this site under "HeatingVacuumServoReplacement.htm#VacuumServoRepl acement" and it has very good pictures of the process on a 960. To repair an old servo, you need to get access as described in the FAQ and repair the crack/leak in the rubber of the diaphragm with a little rubber repair sealant or similar. It does work 'cos I've done something similar on another vehicle, but work carefully from the procedure described. Its reasonably easy to get access on the 960. Have fun! |

Strangely they still call the same device (albeit bigger) a servo when it's linked into the brake system. If they can be dismantled, rubber sheet can be bought cheaply on ebay, measure the thickness of the original and go for the nearest thickness. Wad punches are great for making the right size holes in the middle to attach the pushrod assembly, again sets of these can be bought on fleabay for not many pennies. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5Pc-Heavy-...UAAOSwYvFZKAX0 Hopefully that's a bit more use than my first post!
