# 3806896 Injection Pump Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for an injection pump, in the Fuel System group. It is the refundable charge raised against the old injection pump when the exchange unit is bought, and it comes back once the worn injection pump is returned. The line itself is an accounting entry rather than a part, so nothing ships against it on its own. Under Volvo Penta's core numbering the exchange unit it belongs to takes part number 3803896, which is the number to quote for the component itself. We list that number as an injection pump, reman. It is one of seven injection pump cores in this block. Five carry a published weight on the deposit line - 0.646 kg, 0.93 kg, 0.998 kg, 1.1 kg and 1.465 kg - and two, 3806900 and 3806950, carry none at all, so weight will not sort the set. Order by the paired exchange number. The deposit line and the exchange pump 3803896 are both published at 0.646 kg, so the two figures agree. This is the lightest of the five injection pump cores here that carry a figure at all, though with two of the seven unweighted that is not a ranking of the whole set. The pairing to 3803896 has been checked directly against Volvo Penta's own listing.

## 🔌 Function

As a line item it carries the refundable core charge on the exchange; the injection pump itself raises fuel to injection pressure and meters the quantity delivered to each cylinder, in time with the engine.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   This is a deposit line and has nothing to fail in itself; the signs below are what normally condemns the injection pump being exchanged
-   Hard starting, or the engine refusing to fire at all once it is hot
-   Power down, with the engine hunting or surging at a steady throttle
-   Black or white smoke at the exhaust, and the oil level creeping up as diesel gets past
-   Diesel weeping from the pump body or its drive-end seal, or timing that will no longer hold its setting

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   The charge is refunded when the worn injection pump is returned, so keep the old unit and send it back rather than scrapping it
-   Ordering this number on its own supplies no part - it goes on the order beside the exchange unit, part number 3803896
-   Prove the fuel supply first, since a blocked filter, a collapsing suction hose or air drawn in on the lift side give the same symptoms as a tired pump, and have the timing set to the documented figure when the exchange pump goes on
