Car Forum / Volvo Cars / February 2006What is this thing???
Can someone please tell me what this is and where does it go? I found it just dangling around under the hood, so I taped it off to something so it does flop around. Thanks! http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=99026460&size=o 1987 Volvo 740 GLE > Can someone please tell me what this is and where does it go?

It goes where that hex plug in the radiator is right above the tranny cooling line. Normally there's a rubber fitting there it fits in. Aha! Thanks! Last I remember, there was a plastic plug seemingly screwed in that hole, as if it were removed on purpose. > Last I remember, there was a plastic plug seemingly screwed in that > hole, as if it were removed on purpose. Someone probably replaced the radiator and didn't have the right fitting to put the sensor back in. The original rads had plastic end tanks, the pipe fittings tend to snap off those when they get old, bad idea from the start. |
