That is your oil cooler.

LOL just watching the forum.

 

super quick response. and the part number.
seruously thanks a bunch...

 

well what i forgot to mention is what model it is and year.
its a 850 t5 1997. i cant find that specific part anywhere online. anyone know where i can find one?

 

Where have you tried on line? I'm able to get a lot of my parts from FCP Groton, IPD, or AutohausAZ.

You could try a local slavage yard too. Worst case would be that you have to order one from the dealer.

hey thanks alot glenn. i have been looking online but i can only find ones for later models. but ill keep trying.

 

ahhaha i found it
thanks alot Glenn once again. i visited FCP Groton and right away i spotted it.
now to order it.

 

Glad you got it figured out.

 

I too am glad you figured it out. There are a lot of good on-line Volvo parts places on line, and so far Groton and IPD have taken very good care of my needs for parts.

I am wondering if you're going to do the job by yourself or have it done at a shop. If latter (preferably at Volvo dealer in this case) I won't worry about it, but if you're going to do it yourself, there are some things to watch out for, in order to replace the oil cooler line to the oil thermostat housing.

The O-rings have to be inside the thermostat housing, rather than on the ends of the oil cooler lines upon installation. Also, I would drain the oil from the oil cooler before proceeding. I personally put paste gasket material around the O-rings and left it overnight when everything was in place. Also, access to the Torx screw that holds the oil cooler lines to the thermostat housing (an aluminum plate is held by one Torx screw) is extremely tight.

Anyway, just a thought.
