21186668 Heat Insulation | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine heat-insulation panel used as one section of the Volvo Penta turbocharger and exhaust shielding system. Its formed profile matches a specific position around the exhaust assembly.

🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

• Volvo Penta D13B-A MP
• Volvo Penta D13B-H MP

• Engine Family: D

⚙️ Key Features

• Individual exhaust heat-shield section
• Factory-formed profile
• Reduces radiant and convected heat
• Designed for the assigned shield position
• Companion panels and hardware are separate parts

🔌 Function

The shield protects nearby components and engine-room surfaces from exhaust heat.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Panel cracking
• Loose fasteners or vibration noise
• Heat staining outside the shielded area
• Damage to nearby hoses or wiring

🛠️ Service Notes

• Refit every shield and insulation panel before the engine is run — they are there to keep exhaust and manifold surface temperatures down in an enclosed engine space, and leaving one off is a genuine fire risk as well as making the space unbearable
• Check that the standoffs, spacers, clips and fasteners go back with the panel; the air gap they hold is what does the insulating, so a panel clamped flat to the manifold is not doing its job
• Renew insulation that is charred, crushed, torn, delaminated or has been soaked with oil or fuel — once contaminated it cannot be cleaned and it becomes the ignition source it was fitted to prevent
• Find and fix the leak first if the old insulation was oil-soaked or fuel-soaked; a new panel fitted over a live leak will be ruined again
• Check clearance to hoses, cables and the wiring loom once refitted, and make sure nothing can chafe against the shield edge with engine movement
