# 3805116 Turbocharger Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for a turbocharger, in the Inlet and Exhaust System group. It is the refundable charge raised against the old turbocharger when the exchange unit is bought, and it comes back once the worn one is returned. Nothing ships against this line on its own; it is an accounting entry that sits beside the unit on the order. Under Volvo Penta's core numbering the unit it belongs to takes part number 3802116, which is the number to quote for the turbocharger itself, and we list that number as an exchange turbocharger. The row carries a listed weight of 55 kg. Nothing physically ships against the deposit, so read that as the mass of the turbocharger involved: it is what the old unit will weigh going back, and it is the figure to book the return freight against. A unit of that mass is a two-person lift or a job for a hoist, and the old one will need palletising rather than parcelling.

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Core deposit line, not a turbocharger you can fit
-   Paired exchange unit is part number 3802116
-   Refunded when the old turbocharger is returned
-   55 kg listed against the row
-   Inlet and Exhaust System group

## 🔌 Function

As a line item it carries the refundable core charge on the exchange; the turbocharger itself is spun by the exhaust stream and packs pressurised air into the inlet, giving the engine the charge density it needs for its rated output.

## ⚠️ 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
-   Noticeably slower acceleration and a cruising speed the boat no longer reaches
-   A high-pitched whine under load where the turbo used to be quiet
-   Oil mist or drips beneath the unit and a wet exhaust elbow
-   Wheel rub marks inside the compressor or turbine housing once it is apart

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   The deposit comes back once the old turbocharger reaches us, so return it complete with its housings rather than stripping it for bits
-   Ordering this number on its own supplies no part; it goes on the order beside the exchange unit, part number 3802116
-   Renew the turbine and compressor gaskets and the exhaust joint hardware rather than reusing them

## 📦 Condition

-   Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
