This socket pipe is a critical component in the engine's air intake or exhaust system, ensuring proper flow and connection between components. Manufactured to Volvo's exacting standards, it provides a robust and leak-free seal, unlike a corroded or cracked pipe that can lead to air leaks or exhaust fumes escaping. Symptoms of a failing socket pipe include audible air leaks, reduced engine performance, and potentially increased exhaust emissions.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
A leaking socket pipe may first manifest as an audible hissing sound from the engine bay. If left unaddressed, the leak can worsen, leading to a noticeable drop in engine power and efficiency. The long-term consequence is potential damage to related components due to improper air or exhaust flow.
Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly to ensure a proper seal before attempting to connect the pipe. Avoid excessive force when tightening clamps or bolts, which can deform the pipe or mounting points.
Inspect the associated hoses, clamps, and mounting brackets for any signs of wear, cracking, or corrosion during replacement.
