⚙️ Key Features

• Engine group
• 0.816 kg

• No bore size or oversize grade published

🔌 Function

Converts combustion pressure into thrust on the connecting rod and carries the rings that seal the bore.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Blue smoke and rising oil consumption
• Piston slap, a hollow knock when cold that quietens as the engine warms
• Scuffed or scored skirt, or a broken ring land
• Erosion or heavy carbon damage on the crown
• Compression down on one cylinder

🛠️ Service Notes

• Valve tappet 3850385 covers the same 9 applications, so both belong to the same engine family
• Measure the bore and check ring gap before assembly, since a new piston is no use in a worn bore
• Fit new rings and gudgeon retainers rather than reusing the old ones

📦 Condition

• Genuine Volvo Penta part
• Brand new
• Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
