# 3804270 Turbocharger Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Turbocharger core deposit, listed under Inlet and Exhaust System. It carries the refundable charge raised against the worn turbocharger you send back when an exchange unit is bought, and it is an accounting entry rather than a part - nothing ships against the number. The matching line is part 3801270 - order that for the turbocharger.

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   A deposit line, not a shippable part
-   Refunded on return of the old turbocharger
-   Pairs with part 3801270

## 🔌 Function

Books the refundable deposit on an exchange turbocharger and closes it out on return of the old one.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   This is a deposit line and has nothing to fail in itself; the signs below are what normally condemns the turbocharger being exchanged
-   Boost and power down, with the engine slow to pick up
-   Shaft play felt end to end or side to side, and wheel tips that have touched the housing
-   Oil in the charge pipe or standing in the intercooler from failed seals
-   Damaged or bent compressor or turbine blades after debris has passed through

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   The charge on this line is refunded on return of the old turbocharger.
-   Ordering this number on its own supplies no part - the turbocharger comes from its paired line, part 3801270.

## 📦 Condition

-   Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
