21496518 Charge Air Pipe | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Rigid charge-air transfer pipe used in the turbocharged intake and cooling system. It replaces earlier Volvo Penta part number 21186877 and carries compressed air between the turbocharger, charge-air cooling components and inlet manifold connection. A sound, correctly sealed pipe is essential for maintaining boost pressure, combustion efficiency and rated engine output.

🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

• Volvo Penta TAD732GE EDC4
• Volvo Penta TAD733GE EDC4

• Engine Family: TAD

⚙️ Key Features

• Genuine Volvo Penta charge-air system pipe
• Current replacement for earlier OEM number 21186877
• Designed for the original hose, clamp and charge-air cooler layout
• Maintains sealed compressed-air flow under boost pressure
• Direct-fit formed pipe for the applicable TAD engine installation
• Engine type: Inline-six turbocharged and charge-air-cooled industrial/generator diesel

🔌 Function

Transfers compressed intake air through the charge-air cooling and inlet system while retaining boost pressure.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Hissing or rushing-air noise under load
• Reduced boost pressure and engine power
• Black smoke during acceleration or heavy load
• Oil mist around a split, pinhole or loose joint
• Elevated exhaust temperature or increased fuel consumption

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clean both sealing faces before assembly and check the rubber sleeves, seals and clamps; hardened, swollen or split sleeve rubber will not hold boost on a new pipe
• Seat the pipe fully onto its spigots and set each clamp behind the bead before tightening, so pressure cannot push the joint apart
• Align and support the pipe on its brackets so it is not pulled into tension — a pipe held under strain chafes, cracks and works its clamps loose
• Check the bore for oil sludge and soot before fitting and clean it out; carried-over oil softens sleeve rubber and blackens a new pipe from the inside
• Tighten clamps and any flange fasteners to the figures in the workshop manual for your engine, then re-check them after the first run under load
