3805118 Turbocharger Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for a turbocharger, in the Inlet and Exhaust System group. It is the refundable charge raised against the old turbocharger when the exchange unit is bought, and it comes back once the worn one is returned. Nothing ships against this line on its own; it is an accounting entry that sits beside the unit on the order. Under Volvo Penta's core numbering the unit it belongs to takes part number 3802118, which is the number to quote for the turbocharger itself; we list that number plainly as a turbocharger, without an exchange or reman suffix. The row carries a listed weight of 14.17 kg. Nothing physically ships against the deposit, so read that as the mass of the turbocharger involved: it is what the old unit will weigh going back, and it is the figure to book the return freight against.

⚙️ Key Features

• Core deposit line, not a turbocharger you can fit
• Paired exchange unit is part number 3802118
• Refunded when the old turbocharger is returned
• 14.17 kg listed against the row
• Inlet and Exhaust System group

🔌 Function

As a line item it carries the refundable core charge on the exchange; the turbocharger itself recovers energy from the exhaust to pressurise the inlet air, raising the amount of fuel the engine can burn cleanly.

⚠️ 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
• Smoke on every start and a persistent smell of burnt oil around the engine
• Boost pressure faults logged at the helm that return after the pipework has been proved tight
• The turbo taking noticeably longer or shorter to spin down than it used to
• Seals gone at the turbine end, with oil tracking down the exhaust side

🛠️ Service Notes

• Returning the worn turbocharger releases the deposit, so plan the return at the time of ordering rather than leaving the old unit on the bench
• Ordering this number on its own supplies no part; it goes on the order beside the exchange unit, part number 3802118
• Clean any oil or debris out of the inlet ducting and charge cooler before the exchange unit is run

📦 Condition

• Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
