Hi!

Can anyone help me with locating air intake temperature sensor? I have B20F.

Thanks for any help!

Original Volvo number was 3467813-6, so do a search for equivalents to 3467813 (drop the number after the dash symbol) and you should find something quite easily on eBay, etc. as it was used on lots of other cars.

The original should have a blue socket on it.

On the B20F it is in the front of the hose between the air filter box and throttle housing.

As James says, it has a blue end...

unless you mean the external air temperature sensor?

That's located in the front grill, above the Volvo badge
