Not immediately...... maybe 10 seconds or so.
I had engine running and climate on Auto which automatically activates AQS.

OK thanks.

Hi I have been playing with vida today, and I was looking at the recirculating air setting in vida and when I sprayed the windscreen washer fluid the reading increased up to 100%, then went down again after a few seconds, so it is working
thanks Dave

The air climate quality sensor in my 2001 V70 does not look the same as the illustrations I have seen for the cheaper alternatives available on ebay. I have removed the cover to take a look and the part number on the original sensor fitted to my car is 08665059.

Has anyone found a sensibly priced alternative for this part? Volvo main dealer has just quoted me a price of £311 plus VAT (£373.20)

Comments read so far have suggested the alternative vw part (1K0907659) should fit v70's from 2000 up to 2004 but it won't fit my 2001 V70.

NI Volvo Nut on here is breaking an early S60 that may have the part you're after in it. Maybe worth contacting him to check part numbers etc.

That one is different to the one I have.

If you drop me an email to Andyd345@btinternet.com I'll send a pic of the part.

Yes. The picture in your link looks the same as the chinese versions part number 1K0907659 described as being for VW's which several others have purchased via ebay for £10-£20 and reported a successful result. Unfortunately when I removed the cover in front of the windscreen to fit one I discovered the part fitted in my V70 is not the same as the one pictured in your link.

The sensor in my car looks like this: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Luftqualitaet...p2047675.l2557
It is Volvo part number 08665059 and as I mentioned in my previous post it is different.

I think you have replied to the wrong person.

I am very surprised that volvo quoted you £373.20 for a AQS sensor. I replaced the AQS sensor on my 07 plate S60 with a genuine Volvo part back in February. My local Volvo dealer charged me just £185.22 for it. (Part number - 31369324)
