If you have a 1996 850 model, then you will need to check your factor code and chassis number to determine if this hose will fit your car.
Aftermarket parts are a reasonably priced and good alternative to OE products. We often supply aftermarket products in place of OE parts that are no longer available as well.
Some items will be better than stock or considered an upgrade from the OE design in the aftermarket brand.
Other items will work as a less expensive alternative to stock.
We will not sell a product that we do not believe in, so rest assured you are fine with the aftermarket brand in most applications!
If you have any questions, contact our customer service team to advise on the best aftermarket products for your Volvo.
