What am I Looking at
Hi Guys
Can someone tell me what these two things are and what they do? The car in question is a Volvo V70 2014 reg 2.4 Diesel, the one item lives in the vicinity of the water pump housing. |

The first part is where the radar unit sits for ACC (automatic cruise crontol) which keeps your car's distance. The other part? No idea...

Thank you for your reply Graham, your answer enable me to Google it to find out how it works.
This is what I found just it case someone else is wondering what it does; Piston cooling via oil spray reduces thermal loads and temperature gradients while the engine is hot. This is not necessary during warmup. The piston cooling valve can stop the oil spray for quicker warmup and also control the piston temperature during operation. |
