1676375 Sealing Strip | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta sealing strip is a cooling-air sealing strip used in the fan-ring/radiator sealing strip. It is manufactured to the original Volvo dimensional, material and interface requirements so the serviced assembly retains its designed alignment, sealing, load capacity and operating reliability. In service, it seals the gap around the radiator/fan-ring installation to limit hot-air recirculation and vibration contact. Selection must be confirmed by OEM part number 1676375, the exact engine/product model, serial number and the installed assembly configuration.

🔌 Function

The sealing strip closes off the air or coolant gap around the cooling package so flow is forced through the core instead of bypassing it. This maintains full heat rejection capacity and prevents recirculation of hot air around the radiator or heat exchanger.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Hardened, cracked or crumbling strip material from heat and age
• Sections lifting away or detaching, leaving open bypass gaps
• Rising coolant temperatures or reduced cooling efficiency under load
• Visible compression set so the strip no longer fills the gap it seals
• Debris or coolant weeping past the joint the strip is meant to close

🛠️ Service Notes

• Strip the old sealing strip and any adhesive residue off completely and degrease the channel or face so the new strip beds onto clean metal
• Offer the strip up dry and cut it to length in place; do not stretch it to fit, or it will pull back and open a gap at the joint
• Press the strip fully into its groove or against its face along the whole run, working from one end and taking care at corners so it is not bridged, pinched or twisted
• Where the strip seals a cover or panel, tighten the fixings evenly and only as far as specified, so the strip is compressed rather than crushed or squeezed out of its seat
• Recheck the joint after the first run and once the unit has been through a heat cycle, as a strip settles and the fixings may need checking again
