20729230 Tube | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

A genuine Volvo Penta oil-level dipstick tube designed to guide and support the dipstick while sealing the entry point into the engine lubrication system. Correct tube geometry and mounting position are important for reliable oil-level readings and to prevent crankcase oil mist or leakage around the dipstick opening.

⚙️ Key Features

• Genuine Volvo Penta oil-dipstick guide tube
• Maintains the correct dipstick insertion path and measuring position
• Engine-specific shape, length and mounting arrangement
• Supports accurate crankcase oil-level checks
• Requires selection by the complete engine product number and serial number
• Engine type: Application-specific Volvo Penta diesel engine lubrication system

🔌 Function

Guides the engine oil dipstick to the calibrated measuring position in the sump and provides a controlled, sealed passage into the crankcase.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Oil seepage or oil mist around the tube connection
• Loose, cracked or distorted tube
• Dipstick does not seat correctly
• Inconsistent oil-level readings caused by incorrect tube position

🛠️ Service Notes

• Fit the tube so it reaches both connections without being sprung into place — a tube pulled into line loads its ends and cracks, usually at a bend or a joint
• Renew the sealing washers, O-rings or gaskets at every connection rather than reusing them, and start each union by hand so you can feel that the thread and seating face are properly engaged before tightening
• Keep the bore clean: cap or plug both ends until the moment of fitting, and never blow debris through a tube into the component it feeds
• Support the tube in its original clips and brackets — an unsupported run will fatigue from engine vibration even though it sealed perfectly when new
• Do not straighten, re-bend or patch a damaged tube; its shape is what gives the correct stress-free fit, and tighten unions only to the figure in the workshop manual for your engine
