Idling compensation Volvo 240 (B200/230E)

An uneven or creeping idle after a cold start can point to a cracked hose or a sluggish solenoid valve in the idle compensation, and both should be checked before suspecting a larger fault. This category gathers the parts that control the extra air at idle on the Volvo 240 with four-cylinder OHC engines in B200/230EI form.

The group includes hoses, connectors, nipples and coupling pieces along with solenoid valves and protective covers. A common check point during a restoration is that old rubber hoses harden and draw false air, which shows up as an unstable idle. Since the design varies between the engine variants, it pays to compare connectors and dimensions against the existing part so the fit is correct.
