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.
