# 21997096 Valve | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

EGR control valve for TAD870VE-TAD873VE engines. It meters cooled exhaust gas according to ECU command and must match the engine's emissions calibration and connector configuration.

## 🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

-   Volvo Penta TAD870-73VE

-   **Engine Family:** TAD

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Application-specific flow and sealing characteristics
-   Designed for the original actuator and connection interfaces
-   Materials selected for exhaust gas, air, coolant or fuel exposure
-   Control calibration must match the engine

## 🔌 Function

Controls, isolates or meters flow in the assigned engine system under command from the mechanical or electronic control arrangement.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Sticking open or closed
-   Internal or external leakage
-   Engine derate or fault codes
-   Poor response to actuator command
-   Carbon, corrosion or debris preventing sealing

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Work clean — a valve is a precision component, and dirt or swarf carried in on the sealing faces is the commonest reason a new one fails early
-   Fit new sealing rings, gaskets or washers wherever the original used them rather than reusing the old ones, and lubricate them lightly so they seat without rolling or nipping
-   Check the seat, bore or housing the valve fits into for corrosion, scoring or distortion; a valve only seals as well as the face it beds on
-   Tighten fixings and threaded connections to the figures and in the order given in the workshop manual for your engine — a valve body is easily distorted by overtightening
-   After fitting, bleed or refill the system as required, then run the engine and check the valve for leaks and for correct operation before the boat is used
