# 874228 Bulb Socket | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta bulb socket for the water in fuel warning lamp, from the Instruments group. It weighs 0.012 kg and is listed for 14 applications across the TWD and TAD series. The warning it carries is what separates it from bulb socket 874231, which serves the high oil temperature lamp on the same 14 applications at 0.016 kg — order by the lamp function, not by weight.
