Auto Spare Parts Engine Protection Guard OE 31290966 Splash Guard for Volvo
This OE-grade engine protection guard is tailored for multiple Volvo models, including XC60 (-17), S80 (07-), S60 (11-18)/S60 Cross Country/S60L, V60 (-18)/V60 Cross Country, XC70 (08-), and V70 (08-). Mounted beneath the engine bay, it adheres to Volvo’s original standards for material strength, structural design, and fit—ensuring seamless compatibility with the vehicle’s underbody architecture and reliable protection for core engine components.
Core Components & Functions
Core Component
The guard is constructed from high-strength steel (with anti-rust zinc plating) or reinforced aluminum alloy (per OE specs), featuring a rigid, impact-resistant structure with reinforced edges. It balances durability and lightweight performance, avoiding excessive weight gain while withstanding road impacts.
Core Functions
- Engine & Underbody Protection: Shields critical components like the oil pan, water pump, and engine oil cooler from road debris (stones, gravel), curbs, or uneven terrain—preventing dents, cracks, or fluid leaks that lead to costly engine damage.
- Corrosion Resistance: The anti-rust coating (zinc plating or powder coating) resists road salt, rain, and mud, maintaining structural integrity even in harsh climates (e.g., snowy or coastal regions).
- Off-Road Adaptability: For cross-country models (e.g., V60 Cross Country, XC70), it provides extra protection against rocks or bumps during light off-road driving, extending the vehicle’s usability.

Installation & Usage Notes
Confirm the guard matches the vehicle’s model and engine type via VIN—different variants (e.g., gasoline vs. diesel engines) may have slightly different mounting points. Installation requires professional tools (torque wrench) and adherence to the Volvo service manual: secure the guard to the underbody frame rails using OE-matched bolts, torquing to 25–35 N·m (over-tightening may damage frame rails). After installation, check for loose connections or gaps. Inspect annually for rust, bent edges, or cracked welds—repair or replace if damaged. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on bolt connections to prevent loosening; clean regularly to remove accumulated mud and debris.
