17325266 Oil Return Pipe | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta oil return pipe is a formed or machined fluid-transfer component used in the turbocharger lubrication return circuit. 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 returns lubricating oil from the turbocharger centre housing to the engine without restriction or leakage. Selection must be confirmed by OEM part number 17325266, the exact engine/product model, serial number and installed configuration.

🔌 Function

Returns lubricating oil from the turbocharger centre housing to the engine without restriction or leakage. Confirm the line sits without preload, renew associated seals and clamps, and pressure-test the relevant circuit after installation.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Oil leakage or staining along the pipe or at its connections
• Oil backing up in the component the pipe drains
• Corrosion, pitting or internal fouling restricting the bore
• Cracking or fatigue at bends and mounting points
• Damaged or distorted sealing faces at the connections

🛠️ Service Notes

• Always fit new gaskets, O-rings or sealing washers — these joints see hot oil and a reused seal rarely holds
• Check the pipe is clear before it goes back on; if the bore is coked or sludged, renew it rather than trying to clean it out, because a restricted return backs oil up and pushes it past seals
• Route the pipe so it runs downhill to its outlet with no kinks, sags or strain, and do not spring it into place to make the flanges meet
• Clean the sealing faces without scoring them, and tighten the flange or union fasteners evenly to the figure in the workshop manual for your engine — these often thread into alloy and strip easily
• Run the engine up to temperature afterwards and check the joints while hot, since a marginal seal will often only weep once everything has expanded
