Alternator Shaft Seal O-Ring, SI6 "Short Six" 3.2i & T6 - P3 S60 V60 XC70 S80 P2 XC90
Genuine Volvo 30677807 - 142117
Product Description
The "short six" inline six 3.2i & T6 features an innovative accessory drive, using gears on the transmission-end of the engine's crankshaft to move the timing chain and belt drive to the "back" side of the engine above the transmission. This makes the overall engine package short enough to fit transversely (sideways) in FWD/AWD P3s like the S60 and XC60.
In our experience, this READ, or Rear End Accessory Drive, is pretty reliable. When doing any kind of timing service, it does mean there are additional bearings and seals to worry about, such as this seal that sits between the left side READ output shaft and the alternator coupler gear.
So if you're doing a complete READ rebuild, a timing chain job, or if you're changing your alternator and/or coupler and noticed oil weeping down from this output shaft, throw a new one of these o-rings in while you're in there.

Many may not know this but Volvo in Latin roughly translates to "to roll". The company was founded back in 1927 by Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larsson as a spin-off from ball-bearing manufacturer SKF. While the Volvo logo looks like the biology symbol for male, it's really the Swedish symbol for Iron. With a nod to its heritage in alloys, Volvo chose a logo that depicted a ring bisecting at one o’clock. Today Volvo is known around the world as one of the most iconic brands known for safety, longevity, and its enthusiast following.
