Volvo Air Intake Hose - Genuine Volvo 9179300

Be cautious if you replace the lower elbow section as I could have left that alone and saved a lot of hassle. If you replace the whole thing, just get the flame trap plug kit for $3.50 as it is easy to lose that O-ring inside the engine compartment. You will need a 7 and 8mm socket wrench for the hose clamps as removing the clamp for the fuel injector wiring harness and unhooking the accelerator cable helped me. Separate this into two sections so you can maneuver the elbow to reattach the flame trap plug without breaking it or it falling off. Attach and lock in the flame trap to the side port on the elbow before installing the elbow on the air intake. You will need to keep the flame port from rotating and coming unlocked as you install it. Danger: If this plastic elbow is mounted on the engine air intake but NOT rotated clockwise towards the windshield after seating it, the side port (shown in the picture) has a serious risk of blocking movement of the throttle linkage. Three days later, I started driving but felt pedal resistance that prevented going faster than 30mph, so dumbass here stomped on the gas pedal to overcome the resistance then found myself stuck in an open-throttle condition. shift to neutral, pull over, and turn the engine off. Probably shouldn't ever do that. Hose clamps must be tight and not for air leaks, I believe. Get new hose clamps especially at the engine. You must make damn sure that your throttle linkage rotates freely after installing and does not get stuck on the flame trap plug because the hose to the air cleaner is almost too short and will pull on the elbow, rotating it. Fortunately, I was quick to gearshift to neutral and turn the over-revving engine off. Completely pull out the air intake box/air filter assembly for room. The whole thing just snaps in. Replace the tiny rubber elbows on the vacuum line to the secondary air system while you have it apart. Starting at the engine air intake, attach and tighten the three hose clamps while the lid of the air-cleaner box is flipped vertical. You will be able to maneuver the lid closed with the new hose firmly attached. Finally, before putting the cover over the throttle, double check the throttle rotation is completely smooth! Be safe.

Hard to find vacuum leak, the old one was cracked under the hose clamp where it attaches to the intake. I noticed it by accident really. The new one fits fine, looks to be the same quality as the old one and didn't fight too much going in. I went ahead and replaced the idle control valve hoses as well, they were really brittle and had a really poor grip on the ends, despite being hose clamped...Seems to have fixed the vacuum leak...Thanks FCP!

Great to get this replacement part. My daughters had been damaged by the previous owner.

Fairly easy install and good fit. Has lasted more than a year and expect it to last the life of the vehicle

Can't go wrong with genuine parts and lifetime guarantee from the fcpeuro team!! Thanks !!

Original Volvo part for a Great price !

Fits into my wife's S70, non-Turbo. I had to replace my original piece because I broke the part that connects it to PCV. Next time I do a PCV job, I will disconnect this hose before doing anything else to make sure it doesn't need replacing. I could've cleaned the original piece and then glued it with some high-temp epoxy, but it was better/easier/safer to just swap the piece. A tad pricey for a little piece of plastic, but this is Volvo we're talking about!

I needed the lower part that connects to the throttle body for our S70 na, which fit fine. But Volvo has done something different with the flexible hose. It's incredibly stiff and the upper end that connects to air box is so tight as to be under-sized. I tried some silicone spray to try to get it to slip on--also removed the top of the air box for a better angle, but couldn't make it happen. The combination of the stiffness and being too tight caused me to give up and just use my old flex hose which checked out OK and is not the original anyway. I'll save this one for when it's needed and I have some friends over to wrestle with it.
