Looks like you can still buy the inlet snorkel with a new PTC from FCP and several others. I’ve got a spare PTC that was modified to work in the Snaab inlet snorkel for my old 850R. I think that I can use the Snaab inlet snorkel on my 99 if I install another hose barb.

Problem solved:
PTC is shorted out to ground. Fuse 5 (Emissions fuse) 20A was constantly blowing out as soon as ignition switch was turned to position II. PTC connector was cleaned and thought to be the culprit, but measured with ohmmeter and tested good..as soon as it is plugged in to the PTC it ...

Neil,
Thanks..., good point. Must be a dead short to ground. I've found some wiring diagrams.
looks like the following emissions sensors are on that circuit: Fuel tank pressure sensor(doubtful cause), Purge valve,Evap valve, camshaft solenoid, both 02 sensors. wondering about the 02 sensor heater ...

Update: Fuse 5 SHOULD be a 20Amp fuse according to the fuse box lid.
Disconnected wire from compressor clutch..fuse blows.
Disconnect Main engine relay and plug wire back into compressor clutch...,fuse does not blow. Time to check other emissions sensors? PTC?
thanks,
Stan

A/C compressor is quiet. Fuse 5 is labeled "A/C Emissions Systems" so I assumed it also engaged the A/C clutch through the A/C relay.
Really need a wiring diagram to know for sure.
I will probably remove the relay and see if It still blows the fuse with the A/C clutch out of the picture..I unplugged ...

So here’s the long story..,1999 V70 GLT.
Air conditioner started cutting off a few times in a couple of weeks. Freon looked good, low/high switches looked good.
Let car sit or turn A/C off for awhile and it works again no problems. Recent trip from Florida to South Carolina A/C worked fine..11 hr ...

Ok,
Thanks Neil, I will look into this when I have them apart.
Thanks
Stan

Thanks for the replies....
I live in FLA so I can live without the heated seats.
looks like I will be swapping over the skins as I would rather not mess with the airbag boondoggle.
Thanks again,
Stan

Hey all,
Need some expert help. I have a 97 854R with almost brand new front seats...the car is getting scrapped. I have a DD 99 875 that has the dreaded trashed front seats..
Question: ...Can I swap the 97 850R front seats into the 99 V70?
I know the side impact airbag is different between the two ...

i want one also. Let us know where you got it.
