# 3801559 Turbocharger Exch | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured turbocharger listed as the low-mounted unit, weighing 15.898 kg and covering three D11 ranges - TAD1140VE to TAD1142VE, TAD1150VE to TAD1152VE and TAD1170VE to TAD1172VE. The high-mounted turbocharger for exactly the same engines is 3801560 at 15.876 kg, so 22 grams separate the pair and mounting position is the only reliable guide. Reman components are restored to technically new condition, with wear parts and anything outside tolerance replaced by new genuine parts, built to a bill of material carrying all design changes so the unit meets the latest technical specification, then tested and painted before despatch. This is an exchange item: core deposit 3804559 is charged alongside it and refunded as soon as the worn turbocharger is returned, and the core can go back once the new one is fitted and the engine is running again.

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Listed as the low-mounted turbocharger
-   15.898 kg
-   Three D11 ranges: TAD1140VE, TAD1150VE and TAD1170VE
-   Only 22 grams separate this from the high-mounted 3801560 - order by mounting position

## 🔌 Function

Drives a compressor from the exhaust stream to force more air into the cylinders, raising the fuel that can be burned and so the power and torque the engine makes.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Whistling, siren or grinding noise that changes with boost
-   Blue smoke and oil consumption with no other explanation
-   Boost pressure down, with sluggish acceleration and black smoke under load
-   Oil weeping from the compressor or turbine housing joints
-   Shaft play, rubbed compressor wheel or damaged blades found on inspection

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check whether the engine has a low- or high-mounted turbocharger - 3801560 is the high-mounted listing on the same engines
-   Find and fix the cause before fitting - oil feed and drain lines clear, air filter serviceable, and prime the new unit with oil
-   Core deposit 3804559 is charged with this order and refunded when the worn turbocharger goes back - the return can wait until the new one is fitted and the engine is running again
