    1998 V70r awd throttle body mod

    Been told I can bung a better throttle body on me motor to gain a few nags. Anyone know which one would do job as seen some 950 bods on flea-bay for 25 squid.

    Ta in advance.

    the one you'll want is off the 3litre Volvo 960, you will obviously need to change the pipework to fit the 76mm throttle body & enlarge the port on the intake manifold

    Just to give you more options for searching......

    The throttle housing part number 9146956 on the auto 2.5 or 3.0 960 model is the correct one.

    The grill isn't original and car isn't fly-by-wire.
