Hassle with heater temperature in habitacle 900

Hi everybody

After having resolved my motor hesitation problem, I want to go on with the next issue:

When I put the habitacle heater on in the car it goes on full blast and overheats for about 30 min to 1 houer. Then it kinds of starts to mesure the actual heat and cuts at the chosen temperature.
It kind of feels like as if the internal temp sensor (where could it be? 😚) is not working as it should. But the kicks in after a while. Maybe it is dirty ? Broken ? Something else to check ?

Thanks once more for your thoughts. I have a 98 wagon 940 with LPT, with automatic heating control / clim (clim not working)

Have a great weekend,
Eric 🎩

    Dear Eric the Swiss,

    Hope you're well. If your 940 has automatic climate control, there should be a cabin temperature sensor in the overhead reading light, between the front seats. I'm not 100% sure about this: 940s sold in the U.S. and Canada had manual climate control.

    But 960s/S90s/V90s sold in the U.S. and Canada did have a cabin temperature sensor mounted in the overhead reading light.

    The sensor is #3513147. This parts costs about US$80 in the U.S. I believe it is still available from Volvo.

    The sensor connects to a plastic tube, which I suspect runs to the climate control unit. On cars sold in the U.S., that tube - if I recall correctly - was a pale yellow plastic.

    Hope this helps.

    Stay safe and well!!

    Yours faithfully,

    Spook
