Wow £40 for a filter!

Genuine OE manufacturer filters can be bought for less than a tenner!

Purflex is the Manufacturer of the volvo Genuine part filter.

I always buy mine from here >

Save yourself some cash!

It is recommended that you should always fit a genuine Volvo filter, problems have arisen over some of the patent parts in the past, but in this case it's a win win situation because the Genuine volvo filter is made by Purflex C516.
If you look on the one volvo supply it will say C516 on it.
