🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta starter pinion from the starting system, the toothed gear that engages the flywheel ring gear to crank the engine. It is listed for TWD1630 series, TID162 series and TAMD industrial and marine diesel engines. Pinion tooth condition directly affects whether the starter engages cleanly.

⚙️ Key Features

  • Starter-drive pinion for high-torque 24 V starter motors
  • Engages the engine flywheel ring gear during starting
  • Used in selected TAMD162, TAMD165, TAD1630 and TWD1630 applications
  • Must match the starter shaft, tooth count and rotation
  • Extensive confirmed electrical-industry equivalents
  • Engine type: Volvo Penta 16-litre six-cylinder diesel

🔌 Function

The starter pinion is thrown forward to mesh with the flywheel ring gear when the starter is energised, transmitting cranking torque to turn the engine over. It disengages once the engine fires so it is not driven by the running engine.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Grinding or clashing noise on starting as the pinion fails to mesh cleanly
  • Chipped, worn or broken pinion teeth
  • Starter spinning without cranking the engine
  • Pinion sticking engaged or failing to return after start
  • Damage to the flywheel ring gear teeth from repeated poor engagement

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Inspect the flywheel ring gear teeth whenever this pinion is renewed — at these 16-litre cranking loads, ring-gear damage is shared with the pinion
  • Confirmed only for the 16-litre TAMD162/165, TAD1630 and TWD1630 range — this is a notably heavier pinion than others in this group, so check the starter fitted before ordering rather than assuming interchange
