C70 S70 V70 Parts: Identify Component

[Zoothorn]

1997 V70 T5 Automatic. Estate.
Can somebody please tell me what the component attached to the underside of the Battery Tray is?
Numbers stamped on casing are 000 572 and 1 390903, made in Germany. Mr Google is not telling me anything I understand.

Item has electrical connection, 3 wire.
And 2 small gauge hose connections similar to vacuum hose, only one of which has a hose connected to it, and I can`t trace where it connects too.

Ideas for a worthwhile Code Reader?
Any good Volvo Mechanics known of around the Newquay Cornwall area?

Thanks in advance for any help gratefully received.

I very much stand to be corrected, but I think that this is an electrically controlled valve which is part of the fuel vapour purge system - fuel vapour from the tank is led back to the engine bay and is fed into the inlet manifold, and this valve controls when this is allowed to happen - I think! You'll find some one-way passive valves in that area too, I think there are two of them. I know I replaced one on mine, as it was blowing in both directions.

Code readers - I've got an Autel MS509 which is a great bit of kit and works on pretty much any OBDII compliant car, but they're a bit old hat now, the current way to go as I understand it is to get an app for your phone, and the correct cable to connect, and away you go - much cheaper too I believe. There are others who know a lot more about this solution that I do, and there are quite a few threads on it too, if you search long enough, as this is a fairly commonly asked question.

Hi,

That's your cruise control vacuum booster pump.

Best regards,

Rich.

Managed to take a picture.

Luxobarge, re card reader, I don`t have an Iphone, thanks for the reply.
Richmac, thanks also, does the picture confirm your thoughts?

Definitely cruise control vac pump. When I rebuilt the front end of my 1997 R after a mild front end shunt, it was the one thing that had me totally foxed on what it was and where it went. Took me a while to find out...
