# 11711242 Adjusting Washer | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

This is a genuine Volvo Penta adjusting washer from the fuel system group, supplied in the 1.74 mm thickness. Shims of this type are selected by thickness to set the correct clearance or height during fuel system assembly, so ordering the exact dimension matters. It supersedes the earlier 1.75 mm shim, part number 870272.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Engine Family:** TWD, TID, TD, TAMD, TAD
-   **HP Range:** Approximately 300-700 HP
-   **Year Range:** Approximately 1970s - early 2000s

## 🔌 Function

The adjusting washer acts as a calibrated spacer within the fuel system, its precise thickness setting the required clearance or component height during assembly or overhaul. Selecting the correct shim thickness ensures fuel delivery components operate within their specified tolerances.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Incorrect or drifting fuel injection timing after service
-   Measured clearance or component height falls outside the specified tolerance
-   Visible wear, scoring or deformation of the shim face
-   Fuel weepage or leakage at the shimmed joint
-   Rough running, hard starting or reduced power traced to fuel system adjustment

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   An adjusting washer is a precision-thickness shim: the correct one is whichever thickness gives the dimension called for in the workshop manual, so it is chosen by measurement rather than by simply matching what came out
-   Measure the washer itself with a micrometer before fitting — thickness is the whole function, and markings or part numbers are no substitute for a measured figure
-   Do not reuse a washer that is dished, indented, scored or corroded; a shim that has been distorted under clamp load will not restore the original setting
-   Clean the seat and the washer of oil, old sealant and burrs so the stack sits dead flat — a trapped burr is thicker than the tolerance you are shimming to
-   Where washers are refitted rather than renewed, keep each one with the component and position it came from, and record the thickness used so the setting can be reproduced later
