Missing 2 press in clips after oil change

[Ilovedoughnuts]

Hi Everyone,
I went in for a the 20k mile service on my 2017 S60. They did the oil changed but the 2 clips that are on the cover that has 8 screws in it were missing after the oil change. Does anyone have a picture and part number for those clips? The dealer sent me 2 clips as a replacement but even after knowing my VIN number they gave me the wrong clips! The 2 plastic clips are to hold the cover in place so that you can get the 8 screws in. The cover is some sort of aero cover that completely covers the oil pan and oil filter area of the car.

I think 9182822 is what you are looking for.

These clips are very fragile and I broke some at each oil change.
I don't even bother to replace them now.

They break all the time and aren't necessary. The screws are more than enough to hold the splash pan on.

Thank you! I checked that part against googling for this volvo link: https://usparts.volvocars.com/p/Volv...0/9182822.html
One question though, are the two clips that go into the lower panel under the oil pan, are the clips identical?

I don't see them so much as helping hold it up, I see it as helping align the shield on the bottom of the car, especially when on a creeper on your back at an awkward angle.

In that regard, they are helpful, but yes, they break all the time and I eventually gave up.

Never thought about it that way, good point. It's easy to hold the pan in place with a lift but not so easy on your back I imagine.

You may want to consider an IPD aluminum skid plate. Reasonably priced and once installed you're done. They don't have t be removed when changing oil. Here up north the stock skid plate can't hold up to the hits from snow and ice blocks. The aluminum one can take a good hit.

+1. Worth the extra protection and convenience of not removing the cover at each oil change. Too bad the sale is over.
