1696360 Rubber Moulding | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta rubber moulding is a hydraulic-fluid reservoir sealing moulding used in the power-steering oil-reservoir cap rubber moulding/seal. It is manufactured to the original Volvo dimensional, material and interface requirements so the serviced assembly retains its designed alignment, sealing, load capacity and operating reliability. In service, it seals and cushions the steering-fluid reservoir cap to prevent oil leakage and contamination entry. Selection must be confirmed by OEM part number 1696360, the exact engine/product model, serial number and the installed assembly configuration.

🔌 Function

The rubber moulding seals, cushions or protects a steering component, keeping water and contamination out and damping vibration or contact between parts. Its flexibility is what allows it to conform and maintain that seal.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Hardening, perishing or loss of flexibility
• Cracking, splitting or tearing of the moulding
• Water or contamination reaching the component it protects
• Distortion or permanent set so it no longer seats correctly
• Rattles or knocking where the moulding no longer cushions

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clean the channel, flange or panel edge and remove old adhesive and corrosion before fitting; rubber will not sit down properly on a rough or contaminated edge
• Where the moulding is cut to length, fit it without stretching it — a stretched length will shrink back and leave a gap at the joint
• Work it fully home along its whole length and pay particular attention to the ends and corners, which is where a moulding lifts first
• Keep it clear of hot surfaces and moving parts, and away from fuel, oil and solvents unless the part is specified for that contact
