Volvo Valve Cover

The Volvo Valve Cover ensures that important oil is always sealed inside the valvetrain, preventing any oil and dirt from leaking and keeping engines healthy. Volvo began in 1927 in Gothenburg and since then the Swedish maker has built cars, trucks, and buses known for safety, clean design, and everyday comfort. Volvo pushes the three-point seat belt to the market, fits dependable brakes and clear instruments in every cabin, now investing heavily in electric powertrains and plug-in hybrids that cut emissions but don't cut performance. Owners love the fact that a Volvo is intuitive, with simple controls and durable materials that stand up to tough climates and long trips. Just as the brand is all about protection for passengers, the Valve Cover is the heart of every engine. Mounted on top of the cylinder head, the Valve Cover uses a tight gasket and sturdy metal or lightweight plastic to lock oil around cams and lifters while vent ports allow pressure to breathe. A good Valve Cover prevents oil dripping on the hot parts, keeps the dipstick reading steady, and prevents smoke or fire hazards from leaks. If the gasket becomes old or the case cracks, replacing it with a fresh Valve Cover brings back oil pressure in no time and helps any Volvo run smooth, idle clean, and last longer on the road.

Trust OEM Valve Cover for quality that holds up. These parts use top-tier materials to keep your ride running smooth. Because they match exact Volvo specs, you get a flawless fit and a hassle-free install every single time. No more fighting with parts that just won't line up. It is easy to search our massive stock of genuine Volvo options at prices you will really like. Every part comes with a real manufacturer's warranty and a simple return policy. Plus, we ship fast to get your order to you. Shop with confidence and give your Volvo the reliability it deserves.

Q: How to remove and refit the valve cover and ignition coils for 1.8 and 2.0 litre petrol engines on Volvo S40?
A:
To remove the component, first disconnect the battery negative lead. Then, pull the plastic cover straight up from its mountings to remove it. Disconnect the electrical connector from the camshaft position sensor and disconnect the wiring harness from the cylinder head cover. Remove the positive crankcase ventilation hose from the left-hand rear corner of the cylinder head cover. Unscrew the three engine upper plastic cover retaining pegs from the cylinder head cover retaining studs and take note of their positions. Carefully work out the retaining screws and remove the ignition coils above the spark plugs. Progressively unscrew the cylinder head cover retaining bolts and withdraw the cylinder head cover, the cover gasket also must be discarded as it needs to be renewed whenever it is disturbed. Check that sealing faces are undamaged and rubber seal at each retaining bolt is serviceable renewing worn or damaged seals. For refitting, clean the cover and cylinder head gaskets faces and then fit new gaskets to the cover ensuring they go in the right place in the grooves. Insert the retaining bolts with the rubber seals and spacers at each of the bolt locations, then fit the cover back over the cylinder head, starting all bolts finger-tight to hold the gasket in place. Tighten cover bolts to the torque wrench setting in proper order and refit the three engine upper plastic cover retaining pegs to the noted retaining studs The reassembly is complete by making sure that the HT leads are clipped in place and correctly routed with each lead numbered for identification by its respective coil terminal.
