1991 940 Turbo wagon - I have a worn/torn hose that nobody at the local Volvo dealership seems to be able to find in the parts list. It's about 2-1/2 inches in diameter, and about 7 inches long. It connects the metal intake tube from the front of the engine compartment to the throttle body area. It's kind of "S-shaped" with hose clamps on each end. It's ripped somewhat, and my mechanic tells me that it is the reason that my car is misfiring/running rich. I have a stock engine photo with the item in question circled in white. The link for the photo is given below. Can somebody tell me what it's called, and what the part number is? I've searched many places without luck. Thanks!

I don't know what the part number is, but I've got a used one in good shape that I'll sell for $35 shipped. Otherwise check out FCP Groton for reasonable prices on new aftermarket ones, or prepare for your jaw to drop when you see how expensive the new Volvo branded ones are.

Yeah, they're not looking very hard.

Wrap it in duct tape while you look for a used OEM one or save up the $$$ for a new OEM. Many have had very bad luck with the aftermarket hoses, especially MTC.

While I would never deliberately mislead anyone, take into consideration that any information and advice provided was at no cost to you.

That's jsut the inlet elbow. If they cannot find the correct part, they are not looking very hard for it.
