Volvo Turbocharger Oil Line Seal - Genuine Volvo 31478049

Product Information

A turbocharger oil line is a crucial component that supplies oil to a vehicle's turbocharger, lubricating its moving parts and cooling the turbo to prevent overheating. Proper lubrication is essential to avoid excessive friction, which can damage the turbocharger and other related components.

• Oil Leaks: Visible oil leaks around the turbo or in the engine bay can indicate a cracked or leaking oil line
• Overheating Turbo: Restricted oil flow to the turbo can cause it to overheat, leading to rapid wear and potentially catastrophic failure if not addressed
• Unusual Turbo Noises: Whining, whistling, or grinding noises from the turbo area may suggest insufficient lubrication due to an oil line issue, causing internal parts to rub together

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.
