Idling compensation Volvo 240 (B230A)

A rough or dropping idle when the A/C, fan or extra load kicks in can point to the idle compensation system on the B230A engine. The solenoid valve lets extra air bypass the shutter and should be checked if the rpm dips – stiff or brittle hose connectors and leaking coupling pieces are common inspection points on cars with many years behind them.

This category gathers parts for exactly that system on the Volvo 240 with B230A: solenoid valves, coupling pieces, nipples and hose connectors together with protecting covers and cable spiral that keep the wiring and hose routing together. The B230A came in different versions and the details can differ between model years, so the engine code and model year determine which versions fit – check which version your car has and therefore always compare the existing part when replacing.
