Volvo Turbocharger Mount Heat Shield - Genuine Volvo 30713262

Product Information

A Turbocharger Mount Heat Shield is a protective metal cover or barrier installed around the turbocharger and its mounting area. Since turbochargers operate at extremely high temperatures, the heat shield is designed to protect nearby components (hoses, wiring, engine parts, and body panels) from excessive heat exposure.

• Rattling or metallic noises – caused by a loose or broken heat shield vibrating at certain engine speeds.
• Burning smell – nearby hoses, wires, or plastic components overheating.
• Visible heat damage – melted wiring, cracked hoses, or scorched paint near the turbo area.

About Genuine Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
