# 943252 Shim | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta shim 0.05 mm thick, listed for 93 applications across AQ, TMD, MD, B, BB and AD series units. Thickness is the only thing that distinguishes a shim - order it by the measured or stamped thickness, never by weight, because the published weights across the shims in this run do not follow their thicknesses at all.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Engine Family:** AQ, TMD, MD, B, BB, AD, DP, SP, MS, TAMD

Full model list at the end of this description.

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   0.05 mm thick
-   93 applications across AQ, TMD, MD, B, BB and AD units
-   TH=0.05mm (Volvo assembly listing)

## 🔌 Function

Takes up clearance in an assembly, its thickness setting the endfloat, preload or backlash the build is adjusted to.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Endfloat, backlash or preload measuring outside the figure the assembly calls for
-   Whine, rumble or knock from an assembly running with the wrong clearance
-   Shim found flattened, dished or picked up on its faces
-   Bright fretting or bedding marks where the shim has been moving

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Measure the shim you removed and measure the new one - shims are sold in thickness steps and the packet is the only other guide
-   Set the clearance by measurement rather than by reusing the same thickness as a matter of course

## 📦 Condition

-   Genuine Volvo Penta part
-   Brand new
