Hi, some info below....

1. Diagram of intercooler & piping here: http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/forum/v ... er#p201194

2. Crankcase breather...assume you mean the idle control valve & piping attached?

Some pictures in this thread: http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/forum/v ... hilit=710n

The silver valve in the photos is the idle control valve. It may be worth cleaning this.

3. Oil separator also shown in thread above and also diagram here: http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/forum/v ... tor#p21951

I found these just using the search function. For cleaning any of the items above you can use carb cleaner or petrol even if you are feeling rich. Don't smoke!!
