Air box thermostat S70 1998

Just curious...is there an air box thermostat on this car? Most cars have it.
It's connected to plastic door (flap) that opens and closes based on temperature and controls amount of air coming in. Normally these things are easy to spot.

    If you have a non-turbo, yes. If you have a T5 or GLT model, no.

    It's a common failure on the N/A 850's and S/V models.

    Easy redneck fix for it here:
