CV drive boot clamp
My newish front CV outer drive boot was leaking grease. The boot was fine but the oetiker clamp was probably not tightened properly by the shop as it was leaking underneath the boot lip.
Over here new Oetiker clamps size 104.5 are not available. They only come in a kit with new drive boot. As I couldn't source new clamps either locally and it was surprisingly so difficult to find one online, I've had to use worm clamps. Seems to be holding ok so far but I've read of concerns of the worm clamps not suitable for the drive boot due to risk of imbalance. Should I try to get the proper Oetiker type clamps? Or would the worm ones be ok in the long term? Anyone know of a seller that carries the Oetiker clamps? I found one in UK but he doesn't have the correct size and he told me supply is an issue now with the distributor moving out to Germany. I could send back the Volvo to the shop but I need to pay for a new boot kit again. And if they couldn't get it right the 1st time well ...

I replaced the larger clip on my 2007 XC90 last year.
I bought a kit off Ebay that included several large and same amount smaller Oetiker clips complete with the correct crimping tool. It was about £10. Plenty of correct size clips here along with tool so you should be sorted. It's very easy to do yourself and mine has been fine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_o...lamps&_sacat=0
