This is an exhaust brake control valve, essential for regulating the engagement and disengagement of the engine's exhaust brake system in Volvo trucks and buses. Manufactured to meet precise OEM specifications, it ensures reliable and responsive braking assistance, unlike a faulty valve that can lead to inconsistent or failed exhaust brake operation. Operators may notice a lack of braking effect, a warning light on the dashboard, or unusual noises from the exhaust system when this valve malfunctions.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Flush hydraulic lines before fitting new components. Use only manufacturer-specified hydraulic fluid. Check O-rings and backup rings for correct orientation. Bleed air from system after installation.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The first indication of a problem is often the exhaust brake failing to engage or disengage properly, or a dashboard warning light related to the braking system. If ignored, the system may become completely inoperable, leading to increased wear on the service brakes and a reduced ability to control speed on gradients. Continued operation without a functional exhaust brake increases the risk of brake fade and potential loss of vehicle control.
Ensure all air lines are properly connected and free of leaks after installation, as even small leaks can affect valve operation. Avoid overtightening the mounting bolts, which can distort the valve body.
Inspect the exhaust brake actuator and linkage for any signs of binding or damage when replacing the control valve.
