Mine was 159mm - it was kinked around the component that it loops over so it definitely appeared that there would have been some kind of restriction.

Mine was originally kinked over the solenoid too, and at first I re-routed it so it took a more natural path, but I could see the hose was still a little flattened at the sharpest part of the curve. I needed to lift the mesh cover to see this properly. |

Just completed the mod ready for tomorrow's trip to North Wales. The removed hose is 161mm.

I'm going to try this (really safe) mod this weekend!
Always thought the pick-up from idle at a junction was a little tardy, this is definitely worth a try, I was considering polestar later this year when the first service comes due to cure this niggle - somewhat more costly! I have an auto by the way, dunno if that makes any difference to pick up response?

There is a slight lag with the auto as the fluid flywheel needs to engage to get you moving, though if you floor it you will find that lag pretty well dissappears

I correct my choice of words, I don't experience a lack of engine pick-up - it just needs to wake up! Don't want to floor the throttle pulling out from a side road as going to result in unwanted wheel spin and / or torque steer (I'm fwd) Polestar blurb mentions enhancement in this regard if I recall correctly, not sure I can justify cost of p*
It's a lag in throttle response from idle which, as pointed out, means that until the torque converter has enough fluid spinning it there is a perceived delay. Sport mode helps as the tickover rpm is slightly higher I believe, presumably for this reason. I'll have to do an comparison exercise to test sometime? I need to try and get in the habit of flinging the gear selector to the left when I know I'm pulling out of side road or roundabout into traffic - but I tend to use sport mode only for the occasional overtaking these days though. Minor gripes, just me getting used to Volvo's again. Love my car!

A quick tip: the hose is easier to remove when the engine is warm, as it's more flexible. It might need a bit of a pull to remove it from the spigots, but it will come easily enough. Just measure the length of the hose you remove, and cut the new piece of hose a couple of centimetres longer. |

Mine was 16cm... I put 21cm on. Noticeably smoother. And definitely easier when the engine is warm..
If anyone wants some pipe, I bought a meter, so have 80cms ish left |

I wish you'd said earlier
I just had to shell out 30pence more than the title of this thread. What could I have bought with that 30p?
