3804142 Turbocharger Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for an exchange turbocharger, listed under the Inlet and Exhaust System group at 37.194 kg. It is the refundable charge held against the worn turbocharger you return, not the turbocharger itself. Under Volvo Penta's core numbering it pairs with part 3801142. At 37.194 kg it is by far, better than twice the mass of most of the others, so it is a two-person lift and should go back palletised rather than boxed.

⚙️ Key Features

• Refundable core deposit, not a fitted part
• Pairs with part 3801142
• 37.194 kg
• Heaviest turbocharger core in this group, a two-person lift

🔌 Function

Carries the refundable core charge on an exchange turbocharger; the turbocharger it covers uses exhaust energy to drive a compressor, raising the density of the air going into the cylinders.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• This is a deposit line and has nothing to fail in itself; the signs below are what normally condemns the turbocharger being exchanged
• Heavy oil smoke and oil collecting in the charge air ducting
• A siren-like whine or a rumble from the bearing housing
• Boost well down with sooty exhaust and poor pull under load
• Shaft play at the wheel, with blade damage and housing rub on strip

🛠️ Service Notes

• The deposit is refunded when the old turbocharger is returned; ordering this line on its own supplies no part
• Return the turbocharger with its wheels and housings intact and the ports blanked, since a damaged or dismantled core can reduce or void the refund
• At 37.194 kg use a hoist or two people to remove it, and support the weight rather than hanging it on the exhaust flange

📦 Condition

• Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
