Power Steering Cooler; Have you got one on yours?
I've got a power steering cooler pipe on my 95 2.0 with AC.
It's getting a bit corroded at the bottom (not visble in the pictures) and I could do with another.
Phoned volvo up today to try and get one, and they said that they only have a cooler pipe listed for the Turbos, and that my 2.0 shouldn't have one!
My question is; Are other 2.0 models fitted with the pipe? Maybe Celebration owners could answer that one.. And (although I don't expect so), has mine been retrofitted with a cooler at some point in its life?

Re: Power Steering Cooler; Have you got one on yours?
Never noticed this and don't think I have it. Will check again later.

Re: Power Steering Cooler; Have you got one on yours?
That's odd. It looks as if it's been fitted in the factory and is a proper (not aftermarket) part.
Even the hose clips and unions are the manufacturer type, and it's secured properly. I can't believe that it has been retrofitted..
Was the cooler fitted to the later 440/460? Maybe they were only fitted to very late 480s and the late 440/460s? Mine is chassis no 591999. So it could be an 'undocumented' change...

Good thing I checked, guess what? My car has that feature to. It's a late ES also.

Re: Power Steering Cooler; Have you got one on yours?
So the next question is: What is the part number, then I can buy a new one for Volvo?
Can anyone help?
Perhaps I could make one?

Just checked today in bright sunlight and yes the car I am breaking does have one of these pipes and it is an N reg 95 celeb (2ltr).
Yes it appears to be in good condition and of course I can supply that part if you need it.
I havent looked under the car at the other end of the pipe to see the best place to separate it.

Would you mind to have a see if it's not rusty underneath first, in all cases I've got a standard pipe from the scrapyard so if mine corrodes too much, I can swap it over.
There's a hose clip there too where you can seperate the cooler pipe if it turns out to be okay.
