The filter is specifically engineered for the following vehicle models and engine types:

• Volvo XC60 (156), XC70 II Kombi (136)
• Volvo V70 II (285), V70 III (135)
• Volvo S60 I (384), S60 II (134)

Each model’s engine compartment dimensions have been considered to ensure a snug fit and optimal seal against dust ingress.

Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park on level ground, engage the parking brake, and allow the engine to cool completely.
2. Locate the Existing Filter: Open the hood and locate the current air filter housing. Remove any protective covers or brackets if necessary.
3. Remove Old Filter: Gently lift the old filter out of its frame, taking care not to spill any dust into the engine bay.
4. Insert New VAICO V95‑0278: Place the new filter into the housing, aligning it with the mounting points. Ensure that the filter’s protective shell is fully seated.
5. Secure the Housing: Reattach any brackets or covers and tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer’s specified torque.
6. Check for Leaks: Inspect the seal around the filter housing. If any gaps are observed, adjust the filter until a tight fit is achieved.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the filter every 10,000 km or after driving in dusty conditions.
