3804967 Engine Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for an engine, in the Engine group. It is the refundable charge raised against the old engine when the exchange unit is bought, and it comes back once the worn engine is returned. The line itself is an accounting entry rather than a part, so nothing ships against it on its own. Under Volvo Penta's core numbering the exchange unit it belongs to takes part number 3801967, which is the number to quote for the component itself. It is listed for 3 applications across the TAD series. Volvo Penta lists this core under Parts Bulletin P-21-0 137. Engine core 3804966 sits under the same bulletin reference and the same engine series, and the application count is the only published difference between them, so order the number that matches the engine actually coming off.

🔌 Function

As a line item it carries the refundable core charge on the exchange; the engine itself is the vessel's prime mover, turning fuel into the shaft power that drives her.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• This is a deposit line and has nothing to fail in itself; the signs below are what normally condemns the engine being exchanged
• Hard starting, low compression and heavy blow-by from the breather
• Knocking or rumbling from the bottom end that rises with load
• Oil pressure down, with metal glitter in the oil or debris in the filter
• Coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant, with the header tank pressurising

🛠️ Service Notes

• The charge is refunded when the worn engine is returned, so keep the old unit and send it back rather than scrapping it
• Ordering this number on its own supplies no part - it goes on the order beside the exchange unit, part number 3801967
• Establish and cure the cause before the exchange unit goes in - contaminated fuel, a failed cooler or a blocked oil gallery will take the replacement out in the same way

📦 Condition

• Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
