Volvo C30 2007-2013 Rear Left Quarter Speaker 31252246 4 Ohm 3 Door
Volvo C30 2007-2013 Rear Left Quarter Speaker
Actual Item Photographs
These are photographs of the actual used speaker assembly. Please inspect all images carefully for condition, connector type, mounting arrangement and label details.
Verified Part Identification
Additional label code visible on the photographed component: 08W15. No meaning is assigned to that code here because fitment should not be inferred from an unverified code interpretation.
Where Is This Part Fitted?
This is the left rear quarter speaker fitted inside the rear side section of the Volvo C30 cabin, behind the left rear interior quarter trim beside the rear seating area. The C30 is a 3-door body, so this is not a rear-door speaker.
FRONT DOOR AREA
SPEAKER LOCATION
TAILGATE
Its job is to reproduce the left-rear audio channel from the vehicle's sound system. It contributes to rear audio fill, stereo balance and overall cabin sound. The speaker itself does not control another vehicle system.

Compatibility With Other Volvo Models
No additional Volvo model has been added to this compatibility chart without sufficiently strong model-specific confirmation. Similar appearance, shared platforms or similar connectors are not enough to confirm interchangeability.
Your existing speaker carries a different part number and interchange has not been confirmed from your VIN.
You need the right-rear speaker rather than the left-rear speaker.
Your vehicle is a 5-door model.
You are purchasing for an S40, V50, C70 or another Volvo model simply because the component appears similar.
Your existing speaker is marked with another C30 rear-speaker number such as 31252247 and VIN-based interchange has not been confirmed.
Send your full 17-character VIN and a clear photograph of the label on your existing speaker through eBay Messages before ordering. We can check the details before dispatch.
Why Match the Factory-Original Assembly?
A factory-original used assembly gives you the original mounting geometry, electrical connector arrangement, enclosure shape and the 4 Ohm electrical specification shown on this unit. These are important details when replacing an integrated rear-quarter speaker rather than fitting a universal loose speaker.
Matching the correct factory part also reduces the need for adapter wiring, improvised mounting arrangements or modifications to the interior trim. For this reason, the part number and VIN should take priority over appearance alone.
Used vehicle parts can also provide a substantial saving compared with buying a new replacement. Depending on the component and current new-part price, savings of up to around 70 percent may be possible. This is a general used-parts benefit and is not a guaranteed percentage saving on every individual part.
Reusing an existing serviceable component also keeps a usable automotive part in circulation instead of manufacturing another component unnecessarily.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Rear Speaker
Replacement may be considered if the left rear audio channel is completely silent, produces distorted or crackling sound, buzzes or rattles at normal listening levels, cuts in and out, or causes an obvious left-to-right imbalance when the system's fader and balance settings are centred.
Construction and Part Details
The photographed assembly consists of an integrated loudspeaker driver mounted into a shaped black enclosure with mounting points, acoustic sealing material and electrical connections. The manufacturer's precise polymer and cone-material specification is not stated on the visible label, so no unsupported material specification is being claimed.
Visible identification on the actual unit includes Volvo branding, part number 31252246, M5XUG, 4 Ohm, CHINA and the code 08W15.
Fitting Guide
The speaker sits behind the left rear quarter interior trim. Access therefore requires careful trim removal rather than simply removing a speaker grille.
Typical Tools Required
Non-marring interior trim tools, trim-clip removal tool, suitable Torx-bit set, small socket and ratchet set, suitable screwdriver or connector-release tool, protective trim covering, work light and normal workshop hand tools.
Estimated Repair Time and Garage Labour Guide
Planning estimate for an experienced technician: approximately 0.75 to 1.25 labour hours. This is an estimated planning range, not a Volvo flat-rate or guaranteed workshop time. Seized fasteners, damaged clips, previous repairs and diagnostic work can increase the time.
Because eBay descriptions do not use active JavaScript, the table below provides a static labour-cost calculator. Find the garage's hourly rate and read across for the approximate 0.75 to 1.25 hour labour range.
| Garage Labour Rate | 0.75 Hour | 1.00 Hour | 1.25 Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| £50 per hour | £37.50 | £50.00 | £62.50 |
| £60 per hour | £45.00 | £60.00 | £75.00 |
| £70 per hour | £52.50 | £70.00 | £87.50 |
| £80 per hour | £60.00 | £80.00 | £100.00 |
| £90 per hour | £67.50 | £90.00 | £112.50 |
| £100 per hour | £75.00 | £100.00 | £125.00 |
| £120 per hour | £90.00 | £120.00 | £150.00 |
| £150 per hour | £112.50 | £150.00 | £187.50 |

International delivery is available to supported destinations through eBay's Global Shipping Programme where this item and the buyer's destination qualify. Delivery cost, import charges and final destination eligibility are calculated and displayed by eBay at checkout.
Ordering and Address Information
Orders must be dispatched to the delivery address supplied through the eBay transaction. We cannot simply change the checkout address after purchase. If an address is incorrect, follow the appropriate eBay order process rather than sending an alternative address in a message.
Check the photographs.
Check 31252246 / 30657471.
Check that you require LEFT REAR.
Check that your vehicle is a Volvo C30 3 Door.
Check your VIN if there is any uncertainty.
Ask us through eBay Messages before purchase if you need fitment verification.
Returns and Fitment
We put detailed identification and compatibility information into our listings so customers have the best possible opportunity to order the correct component first time.
Returns are handled in accordance with the return terms shown on the eBay listing and applicable eBay rules. Please return any item in the same condition in which it was supplied and with the identifying marks intact.
No blanket restocking fee is added. Where eBay rules permit a deduction for an actual reduction in value caused by handling or damage beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect an item, any such matter will be dealt with through the applicable eBay returns process.
The simplest way to avoid a fitment return is to send us your VIN and a photograph of the old part number before ordering whenever there is any uncertainty.
VAT Information
This second-hand item is sold under the applicable Global Accounting VAT margin scheme where eligible. VAT is not stated separately on the item and cannot be treated as a separately identified VAT amount by the buyer.
Picked, Checked and Packed for Dispatch
With more than 25,000 parts held in stock, clear stock identification and careful handling are important. Our dispatch process is designed to keep the photographed component associated with the correct listing and protect it during delivery.
Supporting a Small Business and Reusing Vehicle Parts
Every usable automotive component that can be correctly identified, reused and returned to service is a component that does not need to be discarded prematurely. Choosing a quality used part can reduce waste, extend the useful life of existing components and reduce demand for replacement manufacturing and raw materials.
Your purchase also supports an independent UK automotive parts business focused on keeping a large range of used parts available, accurately identifying components and helping customers buy the correct part first time.
Thank you for supporting ThePartPilot.
