21665025 Retaining Plate | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

A formed retaining plate used to secure the assigned pipe, heat shield, clamp or connection in a Volvo Penta heavy-duty inlet and exhaust system.

⚙️ Key Features

• Inlet and exhaust-system application
• Correct OEM formed profile and hole spacing
• High-temperature engine-compartment construction
• Prevents pipe or shield movement
• Designed for the specified bracket and fastener arrangement

🔌 Function

The plate clamps or locates its associated exhaust, intake or heat-shield component so vibration and thermal movement remain controlled.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Plate cracked or distorted
• Pipe or heat shield moving or rattling
• Heat damage caused by component misalignment

🛠️ Service Notes

• Note which way round the plate sits before removal; a retaining plate fitted reversed can foul, or leave the part it holds with the wrong end float
• Check the plate for distortion, wear grooves and cracking around the fastener holes, and check the face it clamps against for the same
• Make sure it seats fully flat before the fasteners are tightened, and tighten evenly to the figures in the workshop manual for your engine
• Use the locking arrangement the manual specifies — new locking hardware, tab washers or thread locking compound as applicable
• Check that the retained component has the correct end float or freedom of movement once the plate is fitted and fully tightened

📦 Condition

• Genuine Volvo Penta part
• Brand new
• Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
