Are Volvo BOAT parts suitable for cars?

NB10 · Aug 2nd, 2020, 14:09

Hi

I need these pipes for my 2001 D5 s60. I found them on Volvo boat parts websites like this one https://www.marinepartseurope.com/en...sure-pipe.aspx

Is it suitable for cars? It has the same reference (31272680). Just want to make sure before ordering.

Thanks

If the part number is the same then yes the part will be correct.

If you can, check the price, prices for boat bit can be inflated - smaller market, perceived wealth??

I agree with 'Baxlin'. In my experience, maritime parts could cost as much as three times their automotive equivalent.

Regards, John.

Agreed on that .. Boat = Better Offer Another Thousand.

It’s not only for cars: when updating the interior of our boat, we bought caravan fittings - exactly the same, but significantly cheaper. Presumably the caravan ownership is perceived to be less well off? (Sorry, I don’t mean to be ‘caravan-ist)

Absolutely correct. I have twin 6 cyl. 6ltr. TAMD 41P Marine Diesels and they require prodigious amounts of Oil and Coolant which I would never buy from any Marine Service or Chandler. Car Main Dealer prices are significantly cheaper but I source Volvo OEM online. I do only use Volvo filters for fuel air and oil but again source online. As a previous poster stated vehicle and marine part numbers if they match will be the same be they car, lorry or marine.
Electric pumps, flexible pipework, bulbs etc. again go the Caravan way in preference to Marine. And as for batteries Marine Dealer prices are hilarious!!!

Try telling that to the caravan manufacturers.

I discovered I needed 2 brake cables for my caravan and ordered them online, each cable was just under £9.00 and next day postage was around £9 so a total of £27 to have them the following day.

Then a couple of days later I was on the manufacturers parts website where two cable cost €91.44 plus shipping at €18.55. Little wonder caravaners are less well off...

As Tomoose says, yes the fuel pipes will fit. But as Baxlin pointed out you could be stiffed on the price, as they will claim to be Volvo Penta marine engine parts. Good luck.
