Help: replacing vacuum hose from oil trap to fire trap 850 1992

Mark,

Sorry, I don't know what PCV box is :) The hose leads to
what is referred to in Haynes as oil separator. With a flash
light I could see that the rubber elbow that connects the hose
to the canister was broken. In fact I could pull the hose out
from its hole between the branches of the manifold.

I bought a Volvo replacement rubber elbows from the dealer
(they are made more robust now) and had a full scale war with
the intake manifold! I would say that it felt like extra 10 hp
after that (N/A engine). Also, the idle became more stable
(it hadn't got all stable until I changed a lot of other
stuff).

Dmitri
