Hello, I hope everyone is safe and well.
Just a quick question. The drain hole/hose under the fuses was blocked and when I pulled the hose out to release the water the rubber o ring fell apart/crumbled.
Anyone know the correct size I need to replace the o ring. The original is in bits and I cannot form a circle to measure.
It looks like 1" 1/2 but no idea the thickness.
Many thanks
André

Hello everyone, I measured the plastic hose connector to the base of the fuse box housing and my best guest is 32mm (inside diameter) x 3mm thickness (guess).
I've ordered one and hope it seals correctly. Someday someone may need this info.
Regards
André
p.s when it rains it pours

I wish I could help but I no longer have an 850. Not sure that the V70/S70 are the same. I may be able to find a part number if it still is listed, but then so should a decent dealer parts guy. Problem there is I may get a part number but they don't give any specs for 'O' rings.
Let us know how you get on.
Neil.

I just ripped out an 850 fuse box and can measure this if you post a picture of where this is

Many thanks everyone for replying,
I went ahead and ordered a 32mm by 3mm o ring and It doesn't fit. I was simply not paying enough attention. I measured outside edge to inside edge and came up with 32mm which is at least 3mm too large.
I removed the plastic housing the o ring sits around and it's either a 27mm or 28mm. 28mm may not be snug enough.
It's under the engine bay fuse panel box and is a simple rain water drain hole.
Anyway I will photo the area tomorrow and post the exact location.
Many thanks again
