I've bought shaft seals (crank, cam and intermediate) from the parts counter at my local Volvo dealer for my '93 240. The last time I got these at the same parts counter, two years ago for my other '93, I neglected to write down the part nos. but I remember that at least one of them was colored bright orange. Today, all the seals were dull gray.

So, I'm wondering:
1) about the continuing, or lessening, quality of these parts; and
2) if I have the right parts (the guy, a new guy, didn't even know that my car takes a round-tooth belt -- he at first handed me a square-tooth belt and I had to correct him; so I'm wondering whether he made some other mistakes as well).

So I'd like to know from anyone who can confirm what my parts nos. should be, and whether these are of lesser quality than I could get elsewhere.

Here are the p/nos. on the packages:

Cam/intermediate shaft seals: p/n 6842273-2 (label says "made in United Kingdom")
These are marked, on the front, outside of the seals,
"Volvo____CFW_-->__GB____FALP___INC.52774____6842273____B1____5049"

Crankshaft seal: p/n 1276425-4 (label: "made in France").
These are marked, along the inside (beside the spring) of the seals,
"Volvo____1276425____IMP____<--_____CFW____81"


On a different note, I'm also planning to do the same job on my '84 (B23) -- anyone know if I would use the same seals, or are either of these different?


In advance, thanks to everyone.
And Happy Holidays.
