Over the past two years I have put together the following which may be of interest to owners of other Volvo 200x engine owners who service their own engines.
Volvo part prices are ridiculous, Keypart seem to have the lowest prices if you want Volvo parts or to purchase in the marine market - they are also very good BUT your local auto factor will have much lower prices on filters -- all you need is the part numbers. Here they are along with this season's prices (all excluding VAT):
CAV296 Water Separator Fuel Filter:
Volvo 858201 - RRP £6.73, Keypart £5.20
Auto Factor equivalent part: Fram C1191-PL, Mann P917x or Bosch N4201 - £1.96
NB as this is not an Engine part your separator may be different to mine and require a different filter.
Engine mounted fine Fuel Filter
Volvo 829913 - RRP £7.38, Keypart £5.70
Auto Factor equivalent part: Bosch N4051, Fram P4186, Fleetguard FF5040 or Mann WK712/2 - £4.49
Oil Filter
Volvo 834337 - RRP £10.21, Keypart £7.66
Auto Factor equivalent part: Fram PH3614 or Fleetguard LF3826 - £5.20
NB The non Volvo part is 1” longer in the body than the Volvo part. If your engine is a tight fit at the front, the non Volvo part may not fit - it will also require a little more oil in the engine to fill the extra filter length.
Using Auto Factor derived filters will save you 50% of the cost of your filters - nearly £15 when VAT is taken into account!
Hope the above is of interest.
