This air dryer filter is an essential component of the air brake system, designed to remove moisture and contaminants from the compressed air supply. Manufactured to meet stringent Volvo standards, it ensures clean, dry air for reliable brake operation and prevents system corrosion, unlike a clogged or saturated filter that can lead to reduced braking performance. Operators may notice a spongy brake pedal, slow air system pressure build-up, or air leaks when this filter is compromised.
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 saturated or clogged air dryer filter may initially cause slow air pressure build-up in the brake system or a spongy brake pedal feel. If left unaddressed, excessive moisture can lead to corrosion and freezing within the air brake lines and valves, potentially causing brake failure. The risk is compromised braking effectiveness and damage to critical air system components.
Ensure the air system is fully depressurized before attempting to remove the old filter to prevent injury from escaping air. Do not overtighten the filter housing, as this can damage the threads or the housing itself.
Inspect the air compressor and air tanks for any signs of oil contamination or excessive water accumulation when replacing the air dryer filter.
