It is manufactured to the original Volvo Penta dimensions and interface requirements so the adjoining component remains supported, located and sealed at the housing or closure. In service, it closes the designated machined engine passage and retains the fluid or pressure within it. Fitment is controlled by the exact engine or product configuration and serialised parts list; confirm OEM number 1556989 against the installed assembly before ordering.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 🚤 Compatibility\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   Engine Family:\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n  TWD, TID, TD, TAMD, TAD\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Full model list at the end of this description.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n ⚙️ Key Features\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  OEM Volvo Penta part number 1556989\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  System group: Engine\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Supersedes part numbers 1556860 and 1543937\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Net weight approximately 0.025 kg\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fits TID162, TD164, TAMD162, TAMD163, TAMD165, TWD1620\/1630 and TAD1630\/1631 series engines\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  24 used per assembly\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 🔌 Function\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Closes the designated machined engine passage and retains the fluid or pressure within it.
