# 3806909 Bearing Housing Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for a bearing housing, in the Cooling System group. It is the refundable charge raised against the old bearing housing when the exchange unit is bought, and it comes back once the worn bearing housing 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 3803909, which is the number to quote for the component itself. We list that number as a bearing housing, reman. It is the only bearing housing core in this block, so there is nothing here to confuse it with. The deposit line carries a published weight of 4.536 kg, which is ten pounds to the gram, and the exchange housing 3803909 is listed at 4.518 kg - the two agree closely, so the figure is a sound guide to what is coming off.

## 🔌 Function

As a line item it carries the refundable core charge on the exchange; the bearing housing itself carries the shaft and its bearings, holding the shaft true and keeping the coolant side sealed away from the bearings.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   This is a deposit line and has nothing to fail in itself; the signs below are what normally condemns the bearing housing being exchanged
-   A grumble or whine from the housing that rises and falls with engine speed
-   Play or roughness felt when the shaft is turned and rocked by hand
-   Coolant weeping from the housing's drain hole or seal face
-   On strip-down, scored bearing bores, a worn seal track, or a shaft that will no longer run true

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   The charge is refunded when the worn bearing housing 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 3803909
-   Renew the seals and anything else disturbed on the drive at the same time, and establish what wore the old housing out, since a misaligned or over-tensioned drive will take the exchange unit with it
