Womala Brake System Vacuum Pump O Ring 31401249 Vacuum Pump Seal for Volvo V60 XC60
The Vacuum Pump O Ring (Vacuum Pump Seal, OE Number: 31401249) is a critical sealing component for the engine vacuum pump in Volvo vehicles. Installed at the connection points of the vacuum pump (e.g., between the pump body and cover, or pump and engine block), it creates an airtight seal to maintain the vacuum pressure required for the pump’s operation. As an OE-grade part, it matches Volvo’s strict material and dimensional standards, ensuring compatibility with the vacuum pump’s structure and resistance to engine bay conditions.
Constructed from high-performance rubber (typically EPDM or nitrile rubber), this O ring withstands high temperatures (up to 150°C+), oil exposure, and vacuum pressure fluctuations. It resists hardening, swelling, or cracking—avoiding seal failure that would cause vacuum leaks. Its precision design ensures a tight fit in the pump’s sealing grooves, preventing air from entering the vacuum system and compromising its efficiency.
Core Functions
- Vacuum Sealing: Maintains an airtight seal within the vacuum pump, preserving the required vacuum pressure. This is critical for the pump to supply vacuum to vehicle systems like the brake booster (enhancing braking force) and HVAC controls (regulating airflow).
- Leak Prevention: Blocks external air from entering the vacuum pump and internal oil/coolant from leaking out. Vacuum leaks would reduce the pump’s output, leading to weak brakes or malfunctioning climate controls; fluid leaks could damage the pump or surrounding components.
- Environmental Resistance: The rubber material resists degradation from engine oil, coolant, and high temperatures, ensuring long-term sealing performance and reducing the need for frequent replacement.
Compatible Vehicles
This Vacuum Pump O Ring (OE: 31401249) is tailored for the following Volvo models and their respective year ranges:
| Model | Applicable Year Range |
| Volvo XC60 (-17) | 2009–2016 |
| Volvo S80 (07–) / S80L | 2007–2015 |
| Volvo S60 (11–/11–18) | 2011–2016 |
| Volvo V60 (-18) | 2011–2016 |
| Volvo XC90 (03–) | 2007–2014 |
| Volvo XC70 (08–) | 2008–2015 |
| Volvo V70 (08–) | 2008–2015 |
Notes:
- Vacuum pump O rings are pump and engine-specific—even for the same model, fitment may differ by engine variant (e.g., 2.0L turbo vs. 3.0L inline-6). Confirm the vacuum pump’s part number and your vehicle’s engine code via the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) before replacement.
- When installing, clean the sealing grooves of the vacuum pump and engine block to remove oil, debris, or old rubber residue. A dirty surface can prevent proper sealing and cause premature O ring failure.
- Do not reuse old O rings—even if they appear undamaged, their elasticity and sealing ability degrade over time. Always replace with a new OE-grade part (like 31401249) for reliable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How to determine if the bumper bracket needs replacement?
A: Signs of a failing bumper bracket include visible damage or deformation, misaligned bumper panels, unusual noises from the front end, or if the bumper appears loose or sagging on one side.
Q: What should be paid attention to when replacing the bumper bracket?
A: For optimal results, we recommend professional installation. Key considerations include ensuring proper alignment of all mounting points, checking for additional damaged components, and verifying all fasteners are properly torqued to specification.
