I prefer to maintain mine in working condition instead of modifying it to always supply cold air. I think it helps speed warmup times. Don't forget, cold engine operation/extended warmups also accelerate engine wear.

Possibly relevant, TIC cars don't have the heat hose.

Default no extra heat needed -->Airbox modification

Yes Sir but I`m afraid I can`t afford taking any risk with this survivor old lady. I let it warm up and drive it respectfully, cold or warm.

ok,... & the preheat tube is not there either, so i`m ok :0)

Is that actually possible? When I first got into Volvos I thought I would do this, but could never find an airbox thermostat that would last as long as a month! Maybe it was because I was buying them at 'import parts' places instead of the Volvo dealership.

Anyway, where I live it only gets below 50°F ambient a few days a year, so having it working would be pointless.
