I am trying to replace my AIR pump, and I am wondering whether I can replace the one on my '98 v70 awd with one from a '96 or '97 850 turbo or t-5 from a pick-and-pull yard. In pictures, they look the same, but the part numbers are different. Also, on Bay 13 there is a specific reference to the fact that on a '98 there is no ground wire ro relay; can I just us an "ungrounded" pump from a car from a different year?

As always, thanks.

    AIR pump for V70 V70-XC70 1998

    I did an air pump a little over a year ago. If it's a Pierburg pump, the Volvo OEM pump, it'll work. Pierburg makes pumps for several euro cars (BMW, VW, etc). When I did the operation, I used a VW one, and I had to change an adapter or two, but that was it. Pierburg pumps are the same.

    To fulfill the function of the air pump, all you need, literally, is something that blows air. Search the archives...I seem to remember an individual who managed to rig up one of those air pumps that comes along with inflatable camping matresses, and it worked fine without setting off the MIL.

    Just replaced one on a 96 850. The ground wire was on the pump itself that is attached to a screw near the battery tray. The relay on the 850 is right next to the pump and has a blue wire only running from it to the pump. You can stick your head under and see if there's a relay. There are three located side by side on the 850. If you see it plus a black wire up near the battery tray, my guess is there're the same but wonder why the part # would be different?
