Volvo VVT Hub Camshaft Timing Gear Seal O-Ring Gasket — Part Number: 9497786SEAL

This is a new replacement O-ring seal designed for the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) camshaft timing gear pulley hub. Your Volvo’s VVT system relies on a proper seal between the VVT hub and camshaft neck to maintain oil pressure and correct camshaft timing.

Product Details:

Fits both intake and exhaust VVT hubs, including early spring-loaded hubs and intake hubs with yellow, blue, black, or gray housings (including part number 9497786 hubs and many others).

Designed to repair leaks between the VVT hub and camshaft, restoring proper oil pressure and preventing timing errors.

Suitable for twin-cam Volvo engines that have two VVT hubs.

Possible Issues with a Faulty or Leaking VVT Hub Seal:

Oil pressure loss inside the VVT hub causing improper camshaft timing

Triggering of engine timing fault codes, such as P0011 (Camshaft Position Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance) or P0014 (Camshaft Position Timing Over-Advanced Bank 1 Exhaust)

Check Engine Light (CEL) illumination

Rough engine idle or hesitation

Reduced fuel economy

Unusual noises from the VVT hub area on startup
