3805341 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 3802341, which is the number to quote for the component itself. It is one of nine engine core lines in this run of 60 deposit lines, and nothing published against them separates one from another, so order the number that matches the engine actually coming off. Longblock core 3805298 sits in the same block and is the less complete unit of the two, so make sure the deposit matches what is being exchanged.

⚙️ Key Features

• Core deposit line, not an engine you can fit
• Belongs with the exchange unit, part number 3802341
• Refunded when the old engine is returned
• One of nine engine cores here, none of them separable on published detail
• Engine group

🔌 Function

As a line item it carries the refundable core charge on the exchange; the engine itself is the complete power unit, turning fuel into the shaft power the vessel is driven by.

⚠️ 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, heavy blow-by from the breather, or smoke that will not clear
• Knocking or rumbling from the bottom end that worsens under load
• Oil pressure falling away when hot, with metal found in the filter or on the drain plug
• Coolant and oil mixing, or exhaust gas pressurising the cooling system

🛠️ 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 3802341
• Establish why the old engine failed before the exchange unit goes in, since a starved oil supply, a blocked cooler or contaminated fuel will take the replacement out the same way

📦 Condition

• Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
