# 21665923 Charge Air Pipe | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

A genuine Volvo Penta charge-air component used on TAD550GE and TAD750-series generator engines. It forms the adjoining position-specific section of the cooled charge-air route and preserves the designed bore, bend radius and sealing alignment for pressurised intake air.

## 🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

-   Volvo Penta TAD550GE
-   Volvo Penta TAD551GE

-   **Engine Family:** TAD
-   **Year Range:** Approximately 2008 - 2020

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Genuine Volvo Penta charge-air component
-   Factory position-specific geometry
-   Designed for turbocharger boost pressure and oil mist
-   Maintains correct charge-air flow and component clearance
-   Direct replacement for a split, distorted or leaking original component
-   Engine type: 5.1L inline four-cylinder or 7.15L inline six-cylinder turbocharged generator diesel

## 🔌 Function

Forms the adjoining position-specific section of the cooled charge-air route, delivering compressed air to the engine with minimal leakage and pressure loss.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Hissing or oil mist around a joint
-   Reduced boost and engine power
-   Split hose, cracked pipe or distorted flange
-   Repeated clamp or seal failure

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Clean both sealing faces before assembly and check the rubber sleeves, seals and clamps; hardened, swollen or split sleeve rubber will not hold boost on a new pipe
-   Seat the pipe fully onto its spigots and set each clamp behind the bead before tightening, so pressure cannot push the joint apart
-   Align and support the pipe on its brackets so it is not pulled into tension — a pipe held under strain chafes, cracks and works its clamps loose
-   Check the bore for oil sludge and soot before fitting and clean it out; carried-over oil softens sleeve rubber and blackens a new pipe from the inside
-   Tighten clamps and any flange fasteners to the figures in the workshop manual for your engine, then re-check them after the first run under load
