1542052 Seal | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This is a genuine Volvo Penta seal from the Engine group, supplied in the Early type configuration for earlier-build engines within the 30, 31, 40, 41, 42, 43 and 44 series. The Early type designation is the key distinction here, as later production engines take a different seal, so confirm your engine build before ordering. It seals a mating joint within the engine assembly to retain fluid and keep contaminants out.

🔌 Function

The seal forms a fluid-tight barrier at a joint between engine components, preventing oil, coolant or fuel from escaping and stopping dirt and water from entering. Correct sealing maintains system pressure and protects the surrounding components from contamination.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Visible fluid seepage, drips or staining around the sealed joint
• Hardened, cracked or flattened seal material that has lost elasticity
• Falling oil or coolant level with no other identified leak source
• Loss of pressure or air being drawn into the sealed system
• Deposits or corrosion tracks forming below the joint

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clean the housing bore and the shaft, and check the shaft for a wear groove where the old seal ran — a new seal on a grooved shaft will leak again
• Fit the seal with the lip and its garter spring facing the fluid being retained, normally inward towards the oil, and to the depth specified for that housing
• Press the seal in square using a driver or plate that bears on the seal's outer face and never on the lip; a cocked or dished seal will leak from new
• Lightly oil or grease the lip and the shaft before assembly unless the manual specifically calls for a dry fit, and protect the lip with tape or oiled paper when passing it over splines, keyways or threads
• Check the garter spring is still seated in its groove after fitting, then turn the assembly by hand before running it up
