3806229 Injector Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for a injector, in the Fuel System group. It is the refundable charge raised against the old injector when the exchange unit is bought, and it comes back once the worn injector 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 3803229, which we list simply as an injector, with no exchange or remanufactured wording against it. Seventeen injector cores run through this block, and nothing published against this one sets it apart from the rest, so order the deposit that matches the injector actually coming off rather than working from the description.

⚙️ Key Features

• Core deposit line, not a injector you can fit
• Belongs with the exchange unit, part number 3803229
• Refunded when the old injector is returned
• One of seventeen injector cores listed here, separable only by part number

🔌 Function

As a line item it carries the refundable core charge on the exchange; the injector itself meters the fuel charge into the cylinder and breaks it into a fine spray at the pressure and timing the engine is set up for.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• This is a deposit line and has nothing to fail in itself; the signs below are what normally condemns the injector being exchanged
• Rough idle, a misfire, or a knock that stays with one cylinder
• Black or white smoke at the exhaust, and fuel use up with no more work being done
• Hard starting from cold, or the engine hunting at low speed
• Combustion leaking past the injector seat, with soot tracking around the bore

🛠️ Service Notes

• The charge is refunded when the worn injector 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 3803229
• Renew the seat washer and any sealing ring when the exchange injector goes in, and prove the fuel filtration and the leak-off line before a second injector is condemned

📦 Condition

• Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
