# 1543723 Nozzle | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

This is a genuine Volvo Penta injector nozzle from the Engine system group, serving the fuel injection system on the 16-litre TAMD, TWD, TAD and TID series marine and industrial diesel engines. It atomises pressurised fuel into the combustion chamber for each cylinder, making it a key wear item in maintaining rated power, clean combustion and fuel economy. Nozzles are normally inspected, tested and replaced as a matched set across all cylinders.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Engine Family:** TWD, TID, TD, TAMD, TAD
-   **HP Range:** Approximately 468-770 HP
-   **Year Range:** Approximately 1987-2005

-   Engine type: 16.1L inline-six turbocharged/aftercooled marine and industrial diesel

## 🔌 Function

The nozzle is the final element of the injector, spraying precisely metered high-pressure diesel into the cylinder in a defined atomised pattern. Correct spray geometry and opening pressure are essential for complete combustion, rated power output and low exhaust smoke.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Black or grey exhaust smoke and rising fuel consumption
-   Rough idle, misfire or uneven cylinder running
-   Hard starting or noticeable knocking/diesel rattle under load
-   Loss of power and inability to reach rated RPM
-   Dripping or coked nozzle tip found during injector pop testing

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Work scrupulously clean — a nozzle is a precision component with fine machined orifices, and grit carried in on a fingertip or a rag is enough to ruin it
-   Never poke, ream or wire-brush the holes or the seat; if a nozzle is blocked or its spray pattern is disturbed, renew it
-   Cap or plug the open fuel or oil way while the nozzle is out so nothing can drop into the passage
-   Fit new sealing washers, seals or O-rings, clean the seat in the housing and check that seat is undamaged before the nozzle goes back
-   Tighten to the figure and sequence given in the workshop manual for your engine; a nozzle pulled down unevenly or over-tightened will distort and leak
