3805385 Compressor Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for a compressor. It is the refundable charge raised against the old compressor when the exchange unit is bought, and it comes back once the worn compressor 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 3802385, which is the number to quote for the component itself. The other compressor core listed here is 3805455, and nothing published against the two separates them, so order the number that matches the compressor actually coming off.

⚙️ Key Features

• Core deposit line, not a compressor you can fit
• Belongs with the exchange unit, part number 3802385
• Refunded when the old compressor is returned
• Not separable from compressor core 3805455, so order by part number

🔌 Function

As a line item it carries the refundable core charge on the exchange; the compressor itself draws in and pressurises the gas passing through it and delivers it to the system it feeds.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• This is a deposit line and has nothing to fail in itself; the signs below are what normally condemns the compressor being exchanged
• Slow to build pressure, or never reaching the pressure it should
• Knocking, rattling or squealing from the unit while it is running
• Oil carrying over into the delivery line, or the body running unusually hot
• The drive belt or coupling wearing quickly, or play felt at the pulley

🛠️ Service Notes

• The charge is refunded when the worn compressor 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 3802385
• Check the drive, the inlet and the delivery line for restriction before condemning the compressor, and renew the filters and seals disturbed on removal

📦 Condition

• Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
