hi, i am new to this forum and new to volvo ownership. have just bought a 56 reg v50 se diesel. was wondering if anyone knows where the air intake is located. only want to know so i dont suck a load of water into the engine by going through a puddle ( as in a mondeo diesel) any advice will be gratefully recieved

behind the top grill so there is 0% chance of doing that unless you submerge your car
