About Air Hoses

The Volvo air hose is a simple yet crucial part of the car's air intake system. It allows air to pass into the Volvo air filter box which then filters the air before it reaches the car's engine.

The Volvo air hose is usually found in the plastic housing between the engine and the air filter. It is attached to the Volvo air flow sensor which is attached to the Volvo air filter box.

It is imperative that the engine is supplied with the correct amount of clean, filtered air. Air needs to be as clean as possible before it mixes with the fuel and burns in the cylinders of the engine. The Volvo air hose plays a part in this process by allowing the air to enter the car's air intake system, enabling it to be filtered, which improves the overall performance of the engine, enabling it to work as efficiently as possible.

The air hose is made of plastic and can wear down over time and can also crack and split, which allows dirt and other unwanted debris to enter the engine and potentially cause damage. It is common for an old air hose to distort, crack and leak and if you notice your car is lacking in performance and using more fuel, it could be a sign that the Volvo air hose is broken. You may be able to repair the Volvo air hose if there is a slight crack but if it is a big crack or the hose is really warped due to old age you will need to replace the Volvo air hose.

Volvo trivia

• Volvo is part of the prestigious Premier Automotive Group, which also includes Aston Martin, Land Rover, and Jaguar.
• In their first year, Volvo manufactured a very impressive 1,383 vehicles; the Type-1 truck and the PV651. Only 327 of their vehicles were exported in that first year.
• Volvo was the first manufacturer to install fog lights on the front and rear of their cars.
• Volvo invented the lambda sond, which is a probe that senses oxygen. It is responsible for cutting down exhaust emissions by 90%, and has been called "the most significant breakthrough ever made in the control of vehicle exhaust emissions." Volvo waived the patent rights on this, and now almost every car on the planet has one installed.
• Volvo is a Latin word that means 'I spin,' although some later translations change the meaning slightly to 'I roll.'
