Hi everybody!

I am in serious need of a Volvo Program Controller, part number 1307344.

This distributes vacuum from the engine to the climate control system. The part is apparently no longer available from Volvo.

This is for my 1987 760 Turbo with the climate control system.

Anyone know where I might find one? Mine is fine, but the pot metal disc that actually distributes the vacuum has disintegrated.

I would prefer a new one, but will happily take a used one.

Also, I am looking for a factory Volvo radio amplifier for the stereo system. This is the one that has two round DIN connectors.

Many thanks, and thank you for looking!

I was able to locate an NOS controller!

Still looking for an amplifier.

Hello David!

In the US market, I'd try Volvo of Watertown (Volvo Parts Warehouse). Email them and ask if the part can be backordered.

If not, NOS for these cars may still be available in other world markets. As I have learned lately, Volvo parts distribution is regionally-segregated and highly compartmentalized. North America may say the part is completely unavailable, but it might be possible to get stock from Europe, the Far East, or somewhere else.

In the European market, Scandcar is a good place to try. They're courteous and resourceful; albeit somewhat ESL. Drop them a line and see what might be in the woodpile. They use PayPal...

Good luck to you

Many thanks! I found a lot of places that had the part listed, but, of course, no one had it in stock...and it would be three to four weeks to get it.

I finally found a NOS one, had it installed, and now I have working ventilation!
