3801138 Turbocharger Exch | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured turbocharger for the D6-400 and D6-435 engines, weighing 20.82 kg and listed for twelve applications across the D6-435I, D6-435D and D6-400A in their A through F variants. It is the heaviest of the three closely grouped D6 turbochargers here, about 900 grams above 3802152 and 1.3 kg above 3802151, so the engine rating and generation are what separate them. Volvo Penta reman turbochargers are rebuilt to the current bill of material with new genuine wear parts, tested to verify performance and painted before despatch. Supplied on exchange, so a core fee is added to the invoice and refunded once the worn unit is returned.

🔌 Function

Uses exhaust energy to drive a compressor wheel, forcing more air into the cylinders so more fuel can be burned for a given engine size.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Blue smoke on start-up or over-run as oil passes the seals
• A rising siren or whistle that changes with engine speed
• Sluggish acceleration and loss of top-end power
• Oil pooling in the inlet pipe or intercooler
• Visible shaft play or wheel-to-housing contact marks on strip-down

🛠️ Service Notes

• Three D6 turbochargers here fall within 1.3 kg, so check the rating and generation rather than the mass
• Renew the oil feed pipe and drain gaskets, prime the unit with clean oil and idle it before loading the engine
• Core deposit 3804138 carries the exchange fee and is refunded when the old turbocharger goes back
