hi guys

96 850 t5 i need to know the size of the nipples for a vacuum/pressure

line so i can get a replacement piece before i remove the other one

the one in question is on the pass side under of intake manifold it has a rubber elbow with a clamp on it the other end goes to the vac/pres manifold located on drivers side forward by idle valve

i'm doing this over the phone or i wouldn't need to post this one

it relates to a gradual power loss problem

a new o2 sensor went in and this made it drivable again but im afraid it was not the problem just a symptom

anyone with a 850 t5 with info please post your experience as this also has to do with emmissions and could be a volvo problem

thanks

The Volvo part number for the rubber elbow or as parts calls it "coupling Piece" is 9155862. That particular elbow is big on one end and smaller on the other end, the part number for the elbow that is small on both ends is 9125615. If those elbows are allowing vacuum leaks it will in time run the vechicle rich and destroy the O2 sensor. There is a post at Volvospeed.com, under "whats new" that talks about the EFI-232 code and the rubber elbows being the most common reason for setting that code, also linked to a pictorial repair.
