Thank you.
It changes the position of the end of the hose about 2cm in a direction 90° from the main line of the hose - in other words it has no effect on the effective length of the hose. The hose itself is about 35cm long.
It's equivalent to the front of the car being lowered less than one inch due to an extra load on the front suspension.
But knowing that Volvo installed them as standard I will refit them when I get around to it.
