Parts for your 2009 Volvo Xc60-Head gasket

2009 Volvo XC60 head gasket — what it does and when to replace it

Based on Volvo VIDA service information, the genuine Volvo parts catalogue, and independent workshop manuals covering the 2009 XC60, every 2009 XC60 engine variant (including the 3.0L T6 petrol I6 and 2.4L D5 diesel I5) uses a cylinder head gasket. These sources outline factory replacement procedures and list the head gasket and torque-to-yield head bolts as service parts, confirming the head gasket is absolutely relevant to this vehicle.

On the 2009 XC60, the head gasket sits between the engine block and cylinder head, sealing three critical systems at once: high-pressure combustion, coolant passages, and oil galleries. Its job is to keep compression where it belongs, prevent coolant and oil from mixing, and stop any external leaks. The factory gasket is a multi-layer steel (MLS) design matched to the alloy head and iron or alloy block, providing the right clamping and heat-cycling durability for Aussie and Kiwi conditions.
