It's all held together under the intake manifold by vacuum. just pull it and clean it out with carb cleaner. IPDUSA.com sells a flametrap relocation kit that take the same time to install as a service usually does, it's worth every penny

What is tarping?

Troubled Asset Relief Program ========================= Although the above is a correct answer, this is listed in Volvo S40 and I would assume they meant trap, which would be the flame trap I think. tedv from volvoforums.com wrote: I look at the flame traps every 12-15,000 miles but generally keep an eye on the crankcase pressure.

Where is the PCV valve located on a 2000 Volvo S40?

Its a flame trap it separates the oil from air. it becomes clogged fyi so regular maintenance is needed.


You have 2001 Volvo s40 you were told that the flame tarp needed replacing and that it would cost 500 you have looked on the internet net and could not find it are they talking about the pcv oil tarp?

The part that needs replacing is called a flame trap. This is an inexpensive component changed at service intervals. I assume that you refer to 500 US Dollars, and not pounds sterling. It still sounds way too expensive to me for a flame trap. I'd take to the car to a Volvo retailer, or to another specialist for the work to be carried out.


PVC valve system on Volvo 940?

Volvo 940s do not have PVC valves. They do however have positive crankcase ventilation. Non torbo models have a flame trap that can clog, cause excessive crankcase pressure and blow out the oil seals. The flame trap should be checked every oil change. Change to the new plastic one if you still have the old brass finned one. It clogs faster. It is smaller than a golf ball. It mounts atop a 1/2 inch hose comming up from the oil box on the engine under the intake manifold between #3 & #4 cylinders. It has a small hose out the side and a "Ball Cap" hose on top.
