1999 Volvo S80 Fuel System Parts

This fuel filter was the only one listed on CARiD for my 2000 Volvo S80, but when it arrived it was almost twice as long as the original filter. I contacted Volvo who provided me with an alternative Volvo parts number, and I forwarded that info to CARiD who did not carry that one. I was able to install the longer filter that CARiD sent to me after a little fiddling, so it all worked out okay. However, I wasn't sure if CARiD was going to refund the part and shipping costs in their entirety because, according to the standard email response I received from them it wasn't their fault. What they failed to consider was that it wasn't my fault either. The parts manufacturer was unaware that Volvo used 2 different types of fuel filters that year. So buyer be ware that if you rely upon the online specs from parts suppliers and the part you receive turns out to be wrong, you may not be eligible for a total refund including shipping costs. If possible, get the number off the original part and use that as a reference rather than the year, make and model of your car listed on the parts supplier's web site.
