3804173 Turbocharger Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for an exchange turbocharger, listed under the Inlet and Exhaust System group. It holds the refundable charge on the worn turbocharger returned at the end of the exchange rather than supplying any hardware. Under Volvo Penta's core numbering it pairs with part 3801173.

⚙️ Key Features

• Refundable core deposit, not a fitted part
• Pairs with part 3801173
• Inlet and Exhaust System group

🔌 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
• Oil smoke that thickens under load, with oil in the charge cooler
• A rising whine or metallic rattle as boost builds
• Boost pressure down and the engine smoky and flat
• Play at the compressor wheel, with blade tips clipped and the housing scored

🛠️ 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
• Clean or renew the inlet ducting and check the air filter before running the exchange unit

📦 Condition

• Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
