Previously wrote in as "BURNING OIL?" on my 1996 850. Definitely found a cracked(almost torn off) hose connecting into the Flame Trap Housing. There a 2 hoses connecting- One is about an inch-and-a-quarter in diameter. The other hose is about half-inch in diameter. The half inch one is cracked. Can see evidence of "cruddy" oil below and and around the Flame trap Housing.I checked several Volvo Parts web-sites. Some had photos and part prices for the Flame Trap. *** But I could NOT specifically find anything Identifying these 2 HOSES***. Not to sound like an Idiot, but could I simply go to a Volvo dealer or Import Parts place and try to describe the hoses and set-up? (My local/ONLY Volvo dealer always seems to be indignant to me). These Hoses run in a tight spot; sort of parallel under part of the Manifold which houses the fuel injectors. The SMALL Hose "appears" to run Horizotally "left-to-right" FROM the Flame Trap Housing INTO a connection on the LEFT side of the engine. This connection/location is just to the right of the Timing Belt Housing. I DID buy a Haynes Manual--- There was ONLY a drawing of the Flame Trap and Housing. *** Please advise--- Perhaps this is not something I should attempt myself. The car is running fine as I did clean out a "plugged" FLAME TRAP. Would prefer replacing the hose(s) at the same time as the NEW Flame trap. The DARN hoses run within an "insulating" sleeve. I still have NOT determined where the large/inch-and-a-quarter hose goes to. I THANK EVERYONE for all their previous advice!
