🚤 Compatibility

  • Volvo Penta TAD840GE
  • Volvo Penta TAD853VE
  • Volvo Penta TAD840-43VE
  • Volvo Penta TAD850-52VE

⚙️ Key Features

  • TAD840-TAD843VE turbocharger oil drain
  • Supersedes 21545821
  • Factory downward drain routing
  • Uses gasket 21615788 and sealing ring 21940615
  • Compatible with several factory turbocharger options
  • Engine type: 6-cylinder turbocharged industrial diesel

🔌 Function

Returns hot lubricating oil from the turbocharger to the engine sump by gravity.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Oil leakage at flange or seal
  • Restricted drain causing turbo oil leakage
  • Cracked or distorted pipe
  • Blue smoke or oil in compressor/turbine housing
  • Coked oil inside the drain

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Always fit new gaskets, O-rings or sealing washers — these joints see hot oil and a reused seal rarely holds
  • Check the pipe is clear before it goes back on; if the bore is coked or sludged, renew it rather than trying to clean it out, because a restricted return backs oil up and pushes it past seals
  • Route the pipe so it runs downhill to its outlet with no kinks, sags or strain, and do not spring it into place to make the flanges meet
  • Clean the sealing faces without scoring them, and tighten the flange or union fasteners evenly to the figure in the workshop manual for your engine — these often thread into alloy and strip easily
  • Run the engine up to temperature afterwards and check the joints while hot, since a marginal seal will often only weep once everything has expanded
