Its function is to drive a vacuum motor that regulates the incoming air temperature into the air filter box. The vacuum motor moves a valve that selects either cold air or air warmed by the exhaust routed in by the shiny silver elephant hose behind the engine. In climes like the SC, it isn’t too imp...

Well, hey there, folks. Figured I might as well introduce myself by showing off my sporty cow as I like to call it… It’s a 2003 V70R M66 in Nordkap that I flew across Europe to pick up and drove home across 7 countries and 1200 miles or so (roughly 2000km).
