Bracket Fuel filter for Volvo 200, 700 and 900
08.03.2024
Anyone who has ever replaced the fuel filter in their Volvo 200, 700 or 900 with an injection gasoline engine is usually familiar with the problem:
The screw of the filter retaining clip does not want to be turned, instead the sheet metal of the clip, where the internal thread is cut into it, twists. In most cases, the relatively thin clamp is so brittle due to road salt and environmental influences that it tears or breaks off completely. Recognized early on, this fact has often led to an extra hour of tinkering with separating, drilling and thread cutting.
As the keen hobby mechanic generally carries out maintenance on Saturday afternoons, this is a must if the car is needed again on Monday morning. You can't get parts anywhere on Saturday at 15:00 h anyway.
This, in turn, has often led to disagreements with your better half, because you actually wanted to invite her to dinner at an Italian restaurant at 18:00 h....
To prevent this from happening again, it's definitely a good idea to replace the clamp at the same time as changing the fuel filter.
The clamp has not been available from the vehicle manufacturer for some time. However, as old Volvo drivers, we have been aware of the problem for a long time, so we took care of supplies at an early stage.
The newly reproduced clamp is now made of stainless steel and is now available in our store under the number 1074113.
