Volvo Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid - Genuine Volvo 31478982

Product Information

A vapor canister purge solenoid is an electrical component in a vehicle's evaporative emission control (EVAP) system. It controls the flow of fuel vapors from the vapor canister into the engine's intake manifold, allowing these vapors to be burned during combustion. This process helps reduce emissions and maintain engine efficiency.

• Check Engine Light: A malfunctioning purge solenoid can trigger the check engine light, often accompanied by specific trouble codes related to the EVAP system
• Increased Emissions: A malfunctioning purge solenoid can result in higher levels of harmful emissions, potentially causing the vehicle to fail emissions tests
• Evaporative Emission Control System Leaks: If the solenoid is damaged, it may lead to leaks in the EVAP system, which can affect the vehicle's overall emissions performance.

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.
