21136738 Heat Shield | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

A formed thermal barrier used around the D13 exhaust or turbocharger system. It reflects radiant heat away from wiring, hoses and service areas while allowing the hot component to expand.

🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

• Volvo Penta TAD734GE

• Engine Family: TAD
• Serial Range: SN10407461-

⚙️ Key Features

• High-temperature sheet material
• Air-gap mounting for thermal isolation
• Application-specific formed coverage
• Protects wiring and hoses
• Must not contact the hot component directly
• Engine type: 13-litre electronically controlled marine diesel

🔌 Function

Reduces radiant-heat transfer from exhaust components to surrounding equipment.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Loose fit or loss of alignment
• Leakage or chafing at adjoining parts

🛠️ Service Notes

• Fit heat shields before anything else is routed near the exhaust, and check there is clear air space between the shield and every hose, cable, fuel line and belt
• Renew any insulation, gaskets, spacers or standoffs supplied with the shield; a shield clamped flat onto a hot surface loses much of its effect
• Tighten the fixings evenly and only to the figure in the workshop manual for your engine — the tabs and brackets are thin and distort easily
• Never run the engine with a shield missing or loose: bare exhaust surfaces are a fire risk in an engine space and a burn risk to anyone working alongside
• Check the shield and its fasteners whenever the exhaust is disturbed, as vibration works them loose and a rattling shield soon cracks at its mounting tabs

📦 Condition
