Hi Grey,

Yep, there's been some posts imitation parts that other RWD Volvo users have encountered or articles of fake parts branded as SKF bearings at warehouses that were part of fake part busts. Though how many get through?

Why I'm ware has heck about buying Volvo 240 parts through the internets.

I have an incandescent black light and may give it a try. I have a large Bosch filter like the W 940 / 1 (or Fram PH-8A?). Got it from the Autozones.

Yep at 9€ or so, your paying about the same as I did for the three Mann W917s. So, I should not complain. Though I discovered a favorite mechanic service of mine remains in business. His trade is Mercedes, BMW, Porsche and the like.

Thank you for the video link.

Please let me know if you need a technical writer in Netherlands. I'll defect instantly. Or Finland, Switzerland, Norway, and so forth. Me and the Volvo 240s!

Thank you,

Stilton Cheese Boyeeeeeeee.
