3806245 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 3803245, which we list simply as an injector, with no exchange or remanufactured wording against it. At 0.352 kg it sits within 3 grams of 3806246 at 0.349 kg, and the seventeen injector cores here are not all published with a weight, so the set cannot be ranked by mass - order by the number of the injector coming off.

⚙️ Key Features

• Core deposit line, not a injector you can fit
• Belongs with the exchange unit, part number 3803245
• Refunded when the old injector is returned
• Published at 0.352 kg
• Within 3 grams of 3806246, so weight is no guide

🔌 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 3803245
• 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
