I will check to see if the print is still visible.

As far as the cam seals, elbows etc, I am DEFINITELY going Volvo OEM... I was just using that price comparison as the 400% cost ration dealer to FCP was the highest, but most every item is costing me at least twice what it would at FCP.

This hose could probably be swapped out fairly easy should it go bad. Worst case is having to remove the airbox - which I have out now because of other hoses I was replacing.

If durability is the issue, and an autozone hose will last me 2 years at 1/4 the cost - then it comes down to ease of installation and in this case, I will likely go with the autozone.

I always get caught in the pickle of buying for the long run, or for now.

On my Saab, I always bought for the long run... then my wife totalled it, and all the investment was for nothing, so I try and strattle the line - long run on significant items - economy for others - unless that would cause a detriment to the long run items.

Thanx for the reply,
Cheers
