Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?


Did you find a new EGR solenoid? I think the EGR valve itself is NLA.


Planning on just deleting it. For now I disconnected the vacuum line from the intake, the solenoid and the valve itself are both NLA. I have a ‘96 intake manifold for it, just need to figure out blocking off the EGR pipe from ...

1998 Manual Swap Cruise Control ( change starter relay on-1998)

Hi Everybody!
Popping in to hopefully save someone else this frustration.
