# 23159515 Wastegate Actuator | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta wastegate actuator from the Inlet and Exhaust System group, weighing 0.644 kg and listed for two TAD series engine applications. Actuator setting controls boost pressure, so it should not be adjusted away from specification.

## 🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

-   Volvo Penta TAD1360-62VE
-   Volvo Penta TAD1363-65VE

-   **Engine Family:** TAD

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Wastegate actuator from the Inlet and Exhaust System group
-   0.644 kg
-   Listed for two TAD series engine applications
-   The actuator setting controls boost pressure, so it should not be adjusted away from specification

## 🔌 Function

Opens the turbocharger's wastegate as boost rises, spilling exhaust gas past the turbine to hold charge pressure at the set level.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Boost pressure too high or too low, with the engine going into a reduced-power state
-   Black smoke and lost power under load
-   Actuator rod stiff, seized or with excessive free play
-   Diaphragm perforated so the actuator will not hold pressure
-   Rod, clevis or circlip found corroded or worn on inspection

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Test the actuator holds pressure and moves through its full travel before condemning the turbocharger
-   Do not alter the rod length to change boost - the setting is part of the engine's calibration
-   Check the control signal and its pipework, since a wastegate fault is often the control rather than the actuator
