Hi Justin.
What is a locating dowel and what does it do?
If its that twisty bit that supports it to the block, I have one.
Cheers Mark.

Mark, it's the wee round sleeve that sits in the bell-housing (outer, top) hole. You can't see it when the motor is fitted.

(The "twisty bit" is the opposite end of the starter. It's the support bracket from motor end to block.)

The part I need goes into one of the 3 bolt holes on the fattest-end of the starter motor to help locate it correctly. By fattest-end I mean the part of the SM that connects to the car, eg; not the smaller end where the battery feed enters the motor but the fatter other-end which has three bolt holes, one of which has a bigger opening to locate the dowel...

I know exactly what part it is. Best you nab one from another bellhousing.

There are no more 340's left in any of the scrappy's near me and the car I rob bits from from a farmers old 340 is the car I took my current starter motor from which didnt have the dowel in place sadly...

I emailed my local Volvo dealer earlier and they can get me a new one for £8.28 from Sweden, part number: 3344178

Well Pleased...

Even more well pleased, my local Renault dealer can get me a new dowel for just 35p

The part number should anyone else need it is: 7705010087

UPDATE: I removed my starter motor this morning to discover that the metal locating dowel was still in place in the bell-housing. A comparison between the dowel in place and my new one from Renault revealed that the Renault one is slightly bigger!

It would be wise if anyone needs one in the future to get it from Volvo. Part Number: 3344178
