⚙️ Key Features

• Washer, 55 mm in diameter
• 0.020 kg
• Listed for one application
• 55mm (Volvo assembly listing)

🔌 Function

Spreads the clamping load of the fastener over a wider area, protecting the surface underneath and helping the joint hold its torque.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Fastener no longer holding torque
• Washer found dished, cupped or bent
• Bright fretting or bedding marks on the face
• Corrosion or pitting reducing the section
• Surface under the washer found indented or picked up

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check you are fitting the same type of washer that came out — plain, hardened, sealing and locking washers are not interchangeable, and the wrong one either fails to seal or fails to hold
• Treat sealing washers on fuel, oil and coolant unions as single-use; they seal by deforming onto the faces, so a used one will not seal reliably a second time
• Clean the seating faces and make sure the washer sits flat and square, fully under the head or nut, before tightening — a washer trapped on a chamfer or edge will crush unevenly
• Tighten the fastener to the figure given in the workshop manual for your engine, and account for every washer on reassembly so none is left loose inside a housing or the engine bay
