Product Overview:
This is a complete 8-line brake hydraulic pressure proportioning valve with an integrated brake failure warning switch contact. It is a direct-fit replacement for Volvo 240 series vehicles without ABS, and plays a crucial role in maintaining balanced brake pressure between the front and rear systems.

The internal pressure-sensing switch will trigger the brake warning light on your dash if it detects an imbalance in hydraulic pressure — a critical safety feature that alerts you to a brake system fault.
