Preventive maintenance

With the blower motor and resistor pack done. I took the advice of fellow Volvo owners and bought a cabin air filter. This was later standard on these cars. This involves the purchase of both an air filter along with an air filter adapter. Both can be purchased through IPD.

The air intake is underneath that large piece of black plastic. Access is gained by unscrewing two torx screws and releasing the drain pipe.







The air intake for the cabin. Notice the blower motor is not installed and we can see into the passenger footwell. This picture was taken after a piece of plastic was removed which shields this port from water.








The filter adapter simply pushes into place.













Put the filter element in and put it all back together.
