# 981245 Plug | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta plug for 8170120, weighing 0.018 kg and listed for 27 applications across the D, TWD and TAD series. That reference is what identifies it - the other plug in this run, 981193, is an M6 plug with its own supersession, so the two are not alternatives.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Engine Family:** D, TWD, TAD
