I bought a V40 S 1.6 last Thursday and thought it best I search the forum for possible problems, finding the clip corrosion one.
So I went and got 4 of the S/Steel ones from the Volvo dealer, part No.988028 now the but, the ones I've been sold are narrower than the ones fitted and I believe the ones currently fitted are from the factory as the car was one of the last year of production 2004.
What should I do as these won't "fit the groove" in the hose left by the original fit. Do you folks think I've been sold the wrong ones?
It does make a lot of sense to fit the groove as Clan says.

I would get the volvo clip rather than "jubilee " they are the correct width , which are narrower than the non volvo ones .. and fit the groove in the hose left by the orignal.

Hope everyone is with me on this.
The Volvo 988028 also has a stamp on the inside 94179L - may well be nothing more than a batch number, it is however about 3.5mm narrower.
