22064313 Retainer | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Small OEM retaining bracket/locking clip used in the engine-management wiring-harness connector group on Volvo Penta TAD560VE and TAD561VE industrial engines. It is part of the Cables and Fuses / ECU installation used from engine serial number 11270936 onward and supports the correct locking and location of the associated harness connector components. Its moulded or formed profile, engagement points and spring retention are specific to the original connector arrangement; it should not be replaced with a generic clip that may not provide the required connector security.

🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

• Volvo Penta TAD560VE
• Volvo Penta TAD561VE

• Engine Family: TAD
• Year Range: Approximately 2010 onward within the TAD560VE/TAD561VE production generation; exact fitment is serial controlled

⚙️ Key Features

• Genuine connector-group retainer for the engine ECU wiring harness
• Schematic object key 24 in the TAD560VE/TAD561VE Cables and Fuses assembly
• Lightweight precision component, approximately 0.002 kg
• Maintains positive connector location under engine vibration and heat cycling
• Correct profile prevents connector movement, terminal strain and accidental disengagement
• Used with the later ECU harness generation from serial number 11270936 onward
• Supplied individually; quantity required in the documented assembly: 1
• Engine type: 4.8-litre inline four-cylinder, 16-valve, turbocharged and intercooled industrial diesel with electronic engine management and SCR emissions control

🔌 Function

Secures and correctly locates the assigned ECU wiring-harness connector component so vibration, cable loading and engine movement cannot pull the connector out of position or place strain on its terminals and seals.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Connector no longer locks firmly into its intended position
• Broken, cracked, distorted or missing retainer
• Intermittent ECU, sensor or actuator fault codes caused by connector movement
• Harness terminals backing out or suffering strain at the connector
• Fretting, moisture ingress or corrosion caused by a loose connection
• Engine no-start, derate or intermittent shutdown when the affected connector is disturbed

🛠️ Service Notes

• Fit the retainer clean and dry unless the manual calls for lubricant, and make sure it is fully home in its groove or against its seat before the assembly is loaded
• Renew rather than reuse a retainer that has been removed — once a spring clip or ring has been spread it loses tension and can release in service
• Use the correct pliers or fitting tool; opening a retainer further than it needs to go, or prising it with a screwdriver, distorts it permanently
• Check the groove or landing face for wear, burrs and scoring, and dress or renew the mating part if the retainer will no longer seat squarely
• Where the retainer holds a rotating or spring-loaded part, confirm by hand that the assembly is captive and has the free movement the manual specifies before closing up
