Womala Intake Runner O Ring 31331885 Intake Manifold Seal for Volvo V50 S40
The Intake Runner O Ring (Intake Manifold Seal, OE Number: 31331885) is a crucial sealing component for Volvo vehicles' intake systems. Installed between the intake runner (part of the intake manifold) and the cylinder head, it plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of the air - fuel mixture delivery process. As an OE - grade part, it ensures a precise fit and reliable sealing performance.
Constructed from high - quality rubber or elastomeric materials, this O ring is designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures within the intake system, as well as resist the corrosive effects of air - fuel mixtures. It adheres to Volvo's strict manufacturing standards, ensuring consistent quality and durability.
Core Functions
- Sealing: The primary function of the intake runner O ring is to create a tight seal between the intake runner and the cylinder head. This prevents any leakage of the air - fuel mixture, ensuring that the correct amount of fuel and air reaches the combustion chamber for efficient combustion. Leakage can lead to a lean air - fuel ratio, resulting in reduced engine power, poor fuel economy, and potential engine misfires.
- Pressure Maintenance: By providing an effective seal, the O ring helps maintain the proper pressure within the intake system. This is essential for the proper operation of components such as fuel injectors, which rely on a consistent intake pressure to deliver the correct amount of fuel.
- Preventing Contamination: It also prevents the entry of contaminants such as dust, dirt, and debris into the intake system. Contamination can damage internal engine components and disrupt the combustion process, leading to decreased engine performance and increased wear.

Notes:
- Intake runner O rings can be engine - specific, even within the same model range. It is crucial to verify compatibility with your vehicle's engine type (e.g., 4 - cylinder, 5 - cylinder) using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or by referring to Volvo's official service manual.
- When replacing the O ring, it is important to handle it carefully to avoid any damage, as even minor tears or deformations can compromise its sealing effectiveness.
