Hello

Volvo has a new and improved version - believe it is the one that fits on a '75 model.

Costing around. 50 Euro.

Good evening -

Up-date.

Wouuuups - it does not fit, damn.

Only for the ´75 model.

Is this part of the 164e inj system? If so I think I may have one. About the size of an apple and sits on the LH inner wing?

Noppe, it actually is screwed in the cylinder head (near the car battery).
I am also looking for one as mine is also giving me hassles.

Unless you can find one of these from another 164 / 1800ES / 1800S or 144 with Bosch D-Jet fuel injection, they are I believe no longer available 'new'.

The idea is that the Aux Air Valve automatically adjusts the amount of air drawn into the air intake as the engine warms up, according to the engine temp. Once the engine is fully warmed up the aux air valve is no longer needed. The problem is that they gradually seize up, and then stop working. It only becomes a problem in colder weather, and can I think prevent the engine from idling.

Brookhouse Volvo here in the UK certainly used to sell a kit which gives manual control over the aux air inlet. Basically, rather than rely on the automatic function of the aux air valve (which is controlled by the temperature of the coolant), the driver has a manual control that worked like a choke works on a carburetted car. I should imagine it would take a bit of getting used to, but no more than driving an older car does anyway.

I can't see anything on the Brookhouse website today, but it would certainly be worth dropping them an email or a quick telephone call.

Cheers

Jack

PS. If I remember rightly it is possible to adapt the equivalent part from a 240 with the B21 engine? Not 100% sure on that, but I think I remember reading this somewhere.

PPS. I see that Brookhouse now do a reconditioned exchange unit:http://www.classicvolvoparts.co.uk/p...ID=39&scID=280

Default AAV rebuild

I know a guy in the Netherlands who rebuilds them. New wax element, perfect! He can almost always rebuild them. Appearantly they can rust too much for a rebuild. pm me for his address.
