3805141 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 3802141, 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 31.751 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. Turbocharger core 3805101 publishes exactly the same 31.751 kg, so weight will not separate the two; order the number that matches the turbocharger actually coming off.

⚙️ Key Features

• Core deposit line, not a turbocharger you can fit
• Paired exchange unit is part number 3802141
• Refunded when the old turbocharger is returned
• Identical 31.751 kg listing to turbocharger core 3805101, so order by number
• Inlet and Exhaust System group

🔌 Function

As a line item it carries the refundable core charge on the exchange; the turbocharger itself is spun by the exhaust stream and packs pressurised air into the inlet, giving the engine the charge density it needs for its rated output.

⚠️ 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
• Black smoke and climbing exhaust temperature with the engine down on power
• Oil weeping from the compressor or turbine joints and collecting in the charge pipework
• Oil consumption rising with no external leak to account for it
• A shaft that turns rough or notchy by hand, and a turbine housing discoloured by heat

🛠️ Service Notes

• The charge is refunded when the worn turbocharger 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 3802141
• Renew the oil feed and drain pipes with the unit and flush the drain through, since debris left in them is the commonest cause of a repeat failure

📦 Condition

• Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
