It seems to fit just fine. However, the part which I removed and which was broken looks exactly like the offset one in the link posted by Laird Scooby. I wonder whether Volvo used a mixture of offset and straight. If mine had the wrong part fitted last time it might explain why it broke. |
Are both of your cars the same year, fuel, engine etc? I know i had one of those "straight" clamps/straps from Charlton Volvo, it wouldn't go anywhere near fitting mine because of the offset (i'd ordered the offset one originally) and they sent me the correct one after i pointed this out.
Sadly exhaust fitters often go with "what they're given" assuming it to be all correct and just fit it and hope.
