3858975 Distributor Cap | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta distributor cap weighing 0.259 kg and listed for 197 applications on the V series. The accessories catalogue prints it as the cap for the eight-cylinder engines - the Gen 1+ V8-225 to V8-320, the 5.0GXi-G and 5.0OSi-G, and the 5.7Gi, GXi, OSi and OSXi families - while the six-cylinder engines take cap 3859019. Cylinder count is the reliable separator, because only 19 grams divide the two caps. Rotor 3858977 is listed with it on the same engines.

• Terminals or the centre carbon button burnt, pitted or worn away

🛠️ Service Notes

• Order by cylinder count rather than by weight - only 19 grams separate this cap from the V6 cap 3859019
• Renew rotor 3858977 at the same time, since it is listed on the same engines
• Check the leads and their boots for tracking while the cap is off
• Always refer to the operator's manual for the recommended maintenance and service intervals for your engine and drive
• Listed against more than one engine or drive family - check the qualifier that applies to your own engine or drive
