Hi,

I noticed that a previous owner had cut the vacuum hose leading from the oil trap to the fire trap - runs along the manifold next to the valve cover (presumably to offset the pressure buildup from the blocked fire trap, but now exhaust and oil leak from here). I am replacing my own fire trap this weekend (I hope... the volvospeed instructions look pretty easy).

So I stopped off at the dealer and they had the hose and said it should be pretty easy to replace and that if I plan to do the fire trap myself I was "doing the hard part". Well I can't even see where the vacuum hose runs. Does anyone know where I can find helpful diagrams and instructions for this? I have a Haynes manual but I can't find anything in there. It's a 1994 850 non-turbo.

Thanks in advance for any advice or help, I'm a newbie at home-repairs!
