    Seems like my governor is making some strange noise in cold WY winter. Might be a time to replace air dryer filter. Now, question is:
    where is it located on Volvo 670 ved12 engine? Any other suggestions appreciated?

    Thanks

    I doubt that's your problem but it wouldn't hurt to change it. The "sneezer" on the bottom of the drier probably has a bit of ice in it. Usually it will work it's way out on it's own.

    try warming it up some (the sneezer) with a pencil torch or other flame. I carry a heat gun with me for my electrical heat shrink tubes, thawing out brakes, ect... and I'll either finr a Idleaire or a plug outside a shop/C store and plug in my extension cord.

    you can use pure alcohol available in drag store (sold in small bottles for medical use). One small bottle is enought to put in wet tank.

    after that change filter
