for some reason the right gasket is the wrong one so I used two of the ones on the left and it worked perfect.

I check with jamie correct part numbers and such then went to the local dealer and check there also.

Thoughts ?

makes no sense to me

both front seals are the same number and both rear seals are the same number. The front and rear seals are different though.

see thats not what I got from either dealer today.

They both gave me the same seals. - But both were wrong

so now I have two extra of those orange seals .

not sure where they go .

I got the right ones at least but not sure what the deal with the oranges ones are.

I saw that but honestly I'm not sure where they got them from? Both front and rear seals have an exposed metal ring around the lip. They look like VW cam seals or something? In their defense the cataloging sometimes is horrible on Volvo's parts end. I have seen pictures that without seeing you could never describe to the counter man in parts over the phone. Fax is your friend in these cases.
