Brake Booster Check Valve & Seal Supplier?
Hi, new to the 240 club, but not to Volvo or older cars. Aside from a engine management issues to deal with, I also have an iffy booster check valve.
Can anyone guide me in finding one in the UK? I've tried Brookhouse but nothing on their site, are their any other known good suppliers for the older Volvo's? Thanks |

I looked for one of these for a friend’s car some time back: ~ eventually purchased good used items via advertising on the forum, also picked up a spare for my own 1988 240 ( I would also advise getting a second item as they seem to be difficult to get hold of) ebay have them for various cars & the grommets. It may be better to take the spigot measurements i.e. inlet & hose outlet diameters- that way you can begin to look at other options and maybe the inline type?? The ID of the grommet could also be reviewed if the valve diameter differs. I would think that a used item could be obtained as a straight forward answer.
Good Luck—Bob. |

Since the servo is a Bosch part you may find that the valve is available elsewhere? Lots of OEMs use Bosch parts.
Have you tried asking Volvo themselves? I usually find most parts are still available and usually reasonably priced. |
